Answer

Correct option: B.
Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Placenta is a ridge of tissue in the inner wall of the ovary bearing one or more ovules, and the manner of distribution of the placenta within the ovary is called placentation.

Read the following and answer any four questions from $(i)$ to $(v)$ given below:
In angiosperms, the pollen grains are being transferred from the anther to the stigma and is termed pollination. This phenomenon was first discovered by Camerarius $(1694)$ in the end of seventeenth century. Pollen grains are immobile. They cannot reach the stigma by themselves. An external agent is required for this. The pollination is mainly of two types$-$self pollination and cross pollination. The diagram given below shows two plants of the same species showing different types of pollination.
  1. What is transferred between the plants in the process indicated by arrow $P?$
  1. Ova.
  2. Pollen.
  3. Nutrients.
  4. Seeds.
  1. Which of the following statements is correct regarding processes $P, Q$ and $R?$
  1. Processes $P, Q$ and $R$ introduce genetic variability in the offspring of sexually reproducing plants $X$ and $Y.$
  2. Wind serves as agent for process $Q$ if plants $X$ and $Y$ belong to Genus Salvia.
  3. Flowers of plants $X$ and $Y$ need to produce odour and nectar for completion of processes $P$ and $Q$ if they are entomophilous.
  4. If plants $X$ and $Y$ belong to Genus Cannabis, then their flowers need to produce sticky and heavy pollens in very small amount for accomplishment of process $Q.$
  1. Identify the processes $P, Q$ and $R.$
S. No $P$ $Q$ $R$
