The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the context of dicot embryogeny. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "Eight cells of octant stage in dicot embryogeny are made by 2 vertical and 1 transverse divisions in embryonal cell." - In dicot embryogeny, the zygote undergoes several mitotic divisions. Initially, the zygote divides to form two cells: a terminal cell (towards the chalaza) and a basal cell (towards the micropyle). - The terminal cell further divides to contribute to the pro-embryo, while the basal cell divides to form the suspensor. 2. **Analyzing the Division**: - The formation of the octant stage involves multiple divisions. Specifically, the assertion mentions 2 vertical and 1 transverse division. - However, the correct sequence of divisions leading to the octant stage actually involves more than just these three divisions. The assertion is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the total number of divisions that occur. 3. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "These cells are arranged in epibasal and hypobasal tier." - In the octant stage, the eight cells are indeed arranged in two tiers: the epibasal tier (upper tier) and the hypobasal tier (lower tier). - This arrangement is crucial for the future development of the embryo, where the hypobasal cells will contribute to the hypocotyl and the epibasal cells will contribute to the epicotyl. 4. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is false because it inaccurately describes the number of divisions leading to the octant stage. - The reason is true as it correctly describes the arrangement of the cells. - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: B: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---

The regular three dimensional arrangement of points in a crystal is known as crystal lattice and the smallest repeating pattern in the lattice is called unit cell. The unit cells are characterised by the edge lengths a, b, c and the angles between them alpha, beta and gamma respectively. Based on this, there are seven crystal systems. In a cubic unit cell: a=b=c and alpha = beta=gamma=90^(@) The number of points in simple, body centred and face centred cubic cells are 1,2 and 4 respectively In both the hcp and ccp of spheres, the number of tetrahedral voids per sphere is two while the octahedral voids is one. In a face centred cubic cell, an atom at the face contributes to the unit cell
