The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements about monocot and dicot leaves, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "leaves of monocots are amphistomatic." - **Definition**: Amphistomatic means that the leaves have stomata on both the upper and lower surfaces. - **Monocots**: These are a group of flowering plants characterized by having one cotyledon in their seeds. Examples include grasses, lilies, and orchids. - **Conclusion**: Since monocot leaves do indeed have stomata on both sides, this statement is **True**. 2. **Understanding the Reasoning**: - The reasoning states that "dicot leaves have dimorphic cells in mesophyll." - **Definition**: Dimorphic cells refer to the presence of two different types of cells within the mesophyll tissue of leaves. - **Dicots**: These are another group of flowering plants characterized by having two cotyledons in their seeds. Examples include beans, roses, and sunflowers. - **Mesophyll**: This is the inner tissue of the leaf where photosynthesis occurs, typically consisting of palisade and spongy mesophyll cells. - **Conclusion**: Dicot leaves do have dimorphic cells in their mesophyll, making this statement also **True**. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - Now, we need to determine if the reasoning provided is the correct explanation for the assertion. - The assertion is about the stomatal arrangement in monocots, while the reasoning discusses the cell types in dicots. - **Conclusion**: Although both statements are true, the reasoning does not explain the assertion about monocots. Therefore, the reasoning is not the correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Final Answer**: - Both the assertion and the reasoning are true, but the reasoning is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Summary: - **Assertion**: True (Monocots are amphistomatic) - **Reasoning**: True (Dicots have dimorphic mesophyll cells) - **Conclusion**: Reasoning is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Answer Choice: - The correct choice is that both the assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
