The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is incorrect among the options provided, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement (a)**: - "Reduction division occurs inside fruiting bodies leading to formation of spores." - **Explanation**: Reduction division refers to meiosis, which indeed occurs in the fruiting bodies of fungi and leads to the formation of haploid spores. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Analyze Statement (b)**: - "Conidia are produced endogenously." - **Explanation**: Conidia are asexual spores produced by fungi, and they are formed exogenously (on the outside of the structure), not endogenously (inside). This statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze Statement (c)**: - "Formation of ascospores occurs inside ascus." - **Explanation**: Ascospores are indeed formed inside a specialized sac-like structure called an ascus. This statement is **correct**. 4. **Analyze Statement (d)**: - "Rust diseases in wheat caused by Puccinia." - **Explanation**: Rust diseases in wheat, such as wheat leaf rust, are caused by fungi of the genus Puccinia. This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the statements, we find that the incorrect statement is **(b)**: "Conidia are produced endogenously." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **(b)**. ---

Hess's law of heat of summatiion is based on law of conservation of energy. It has found significance in deriving heats of many reactions which either do not take place or if take place, than other side reactions also accompany it. For example heat of reaction for C+(1)/(2)O_(2) rarr CO can not be studied directly as it occurs with simultaneous reaction of oxidation of CO to CO_(2) . Bond energy is referred as heat enthalpy when a bond is broken to produce isolated gaseous atoms. In case of breaking up of bonds between unlike atoms e.g., C-H bond in CH_(4) , bond energy is referred as avarage bond energy as four C-H bonds are broken up. Which of the following statements are correct ? (1) The dissociation of a ond is always endothermic (2) The formation of a bond is always exothermic. (3) Heat of formation of an atom =1//2xx bond energy like atoms covalent bond. (4) The heat enthalpy change in a chemical reaction is equal but opposite to the heat enthalpy if reaction is reversed. (5) Hess's law can be verified experimentally.

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statements. a. The placenta is located inside the locule. Arising from the placenta are the ovules. b. The number of ovules in an ovary may be one (papaya, watermelon and orchids) to many (wheat, paddy and mango). c. Each ovule has one or two protective envelops called integuments. d. Integuments encircle the ovule except at the tip where a small opening called the chalaza is organised. Opposite the chalaza is the micropylar end. e. Enclosed within the integuments is a mass of cells called the perisperm.
