The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is false among the provided options, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I**: "Bamboo species flower only once in their lifetime, generally after 50-100 years, produce a large number of fruits and die." - This statement is true. Bamboo does have a unique flowering cycle where it flowers once after many years, produces seeds, and then dies. 2. **Statement II**: "In animals, the juvenile phase is followed by morphological and physiological changes prior to active reproductive behavior." - This statement is also true. In animals, the juvenile phase indeed precedes the reproductive phase, involving significant changes. 3. **Statement III**: "The reproductive phase is of same duration in all organisms." - This statement is false. The duration of the reproductive phase varies significantly among different organisms. For example, some organisms reproduce quickly, while others may have a longer reproductive phase. 4. **Statement IV**: "Juvenile phase is the period of growth between the birth of an individual till it reaches reproductive maturity." - This statement is true. The juvenile phase is defined as the time from birth until an organism reaches reproductive maturity. 5. **Statement V**: "In plants, juvenile phase is also called vegetative phase." - This statement is true. In plants, the juvenile phase is often referred to as the vegetative phase, where the plant grows but does not yet reproduce. ### Conclusion: The false statement among the options is **Statement III**: "The reproductive phase is of same duration in all organisms." ---
