Assertion: All the endothermal cells of a root do not contain casparian thickenings on their radial walls and transverse walls. Reason: Passage cells are found in endodermis.

Assertion a. Gametes are formed independently either from diploid or haploid parents. Gametes are always haploid Reason r. In diploid parents, gametes are formed through mitosis and meiosis while in haploid parents it occurs through meiosis.

Assertion : When the ambient temperature is high and soil contains excess of water, the plants tend to lose water in the form of droplets from lenticels. Reason : Root pressure regulates the rate of loss of water form lenticels.

Assertion. The atmospheric concentration of CO_(2) at which photosynthesis just compensates for resoiration is referred to as CO_(2) compensation point. Reason. CO_(2) -compensation point is reached when the amount of CO_(2) uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of CO_(2) is more than that required for achieving CO_(2) -compensation point.
