The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding grafting, we need to evaluate each statement provided and determine their accuracy based on our understanding of the grafting technique. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Grafting**: Grafting is a horticultural technique that involves joining two different plants together so that they grow as one. This typically includes a shoot system (the scion) and a root system (the rootstock). 2. **Evaluating Statement i**: - Statement: "A connection between the root system of two different plants." - Evaluation: This statement is incorrect. Grafting involves a connection between the shoot system of one plant and the root system of another, not just the root systems. 3. **Evaluating Statement ii**: - Statement: "A composite plant production." - Evaluation: This statement is correct. Grafting results in the production of a composite plant that has characteristics from both the scion and the rootstock. 4. **Evaluating Statement iii**: - Statement: "The physical and physiological joining of two separate individuals." - Evaluation: This statement is also correct. Grafting involves both physical and physiological processes to join two different plant individuals. 5. **Evaluating Statement iv**: - Statement: "The plants used are non-cambium containing ones." - Evaluation: This statement is incorrect. Grafting typically requires plants that contain cambium, as the cambium layer is essential for the successful joining of vascular tissues. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluations: - Correct statements: ii (composite plant production) and iii (joining of two separate individuals). - Incorrect statements: i (connection of root systems) and iv (non-cambium containing plants). ### Final Answer: The correct options are ii and iii. Therefore, the answer is option B. ---

A student was–performing an activity to prove the requirements for photosynthesis. During this activity, he kept two identical healthy potted plantsA and Bin dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, he covered plant A and B by bell shaped jars separately. While covering the plants with separate bell jars, he kept KOH in the watch glass by the side of the plant in setup A and not in setup B. Both these setups were made air tight and were kept in light for 6 hours. Then, Iodine Test was performed with one leaf from each of the two plants A and B. Which of the following steps can be followed for making the apparatus air tight? i. placing the plants on glass plate ii. using a suction pump. iii. applying Vaseline to seal the bottom of jar. iv. creating vacuum

The Figure shown below represents an activity to prove the requirements for photosynthesis. During this activity, two healthy potted plants were kept in the dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, KOH is kept in the watch glass in setup X and not in setup Y. Both these setups are air tight and have been kept in light for 6 hours. Then, Iodine Test is performed with one leaf from each of the two plants X and Y. Which of the following steps can be followed for making the apparatus air tight? i. placing the plants on glass plate ii. using a suction pump. iii. applying aseline to seal the bottom of jar. iv. creating vacuum
