I) Polygonum II) Sun flower III) Bean IV) Pea
1) I, II only 2) II, III only 3) I, III only 4) III, IV only
2. Wrong match from the following is
1) Loranthus – Anatropous ovule with single integument
2) Dolichos – Campylotropous ovule with two integuments

4) 1 1  2  2  4  4  3  2  3  3 1  3
11. Assertion(A): During megasporogenesis the four megaspores are arranged linearly
Reason (R): During the meiosis in megaspore mother cell, spindle apparatii at metaphase-II are formed
paralled to the spindle apparatus at metaphase-I
1) A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
2) A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
3) A is true, R is false 4) A is false, R is true
