Consider the following statements.<br>1. Fertilisation of the egg takes place inside the embryo sac.<br>2. Fertilised ovum form the embryo.<br>3. Endosperm is generally triploid.<br>Which of the statements given above are correct?

Consider the following statements regarding Xenia and choose the correct answer:
1. If a white variety (yy) is pollinated with pollen from a yellow variety (YY), one of the male gametes (Y) will unite with the egg (y) to produce a hybrid embryo (Yy) which will act as a heterozygote for yellow endosperm in the next generation
2. The second male gamete (Y) will unite with the two polar nuclei (y, y) and produces the primary endosperm nucleus (Yyy) which is triploid
3. If a yellow endosperm variety (YY) is crossed with pollen from a white grained variety, the grains produced are white like the pollen parent

Consider the following statements regarding double fertilization and choose the correct answer:
1. At the time of the sperm's approach to the egg nucleus, the male nucleus has the appearance of a continuous thread rolled into a ball
2. It is only the presence of the two nucleoli which serves to distinguish the fertilized egg from the unfertilized egg
3. Finally, the male nucleolus increases in size and fuses with the female nucleolus thus closing the phenomenon of sexual union of the nuclei
4. The fusion of the male gamete with the secondary nucleus results in the formation of a sister embryo

Determine the correctness or otherwise of the following Assertion (A) and the Reason (R).
Assertion: Somatic embryogenesis in plants is a twostep process comprising of embryo initiation followed by embryo production.
Reason: Embryo initiation is independent of the presence of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, whereas embryo production requires a high concentration of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.

A

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct reason for (A)

B

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct reason for (A)

C

(A) is true but (R) is false

D

(A) is false but (R) is true

Consider the following statements regarding poloyembryony and choose the correct answer:
1. False polyembryony includes the development of two or more embryo sacs within the Same nucellus, and the embryos are derived from different embryo sacs
2. In cleavage polyembryony, the zygote instead of giving rise to one embryo produces embryos by cleavage
3. According to Jeffrey (1895), in Erythronium americanum the "embryogenic mass" forms two or three embryos
