Assertion : The filiform apparatus of synergids guids the pollen tube into the egg. Reason : It helps in the absorption and conduction of nutrients.

Shows a cylindrical tube with adiabatic walls and fittled with a diathermic separetor. The separetor can be slid in the tube by and external mechanism. An ideal gas is injected into the two sides at equal pressures and equal temperatures. The separetor remaons in equilibrium at the middle. It is now slid to pisition where it devides the tube in the ratio of 1:3. Find the ratio of the pressures in the two parts of the vessel.

A thin tube of uniform cross section is sealed at both ends. It lies horizontally, the middle 5cm containing mercury and the parts on its two sides containing air at the same pressure p. when the tube is held at and angle of 60_(@) with the vertical, the length of the air column above and belw the mercury pellet are 46cm and 44.5cm respectively. Calculate the ressure - in centimeters of mercury, The timperature of the system is kept at 30_(@)C .

Figure shows two rigid vessels A and B, each of volume 200 cm ^(3) containg an ideal gas (C_v = 12.5 JK ^(-1) mol^(-1)) . The vessels are connected to a manometer tube containing mercury. The pressure in both the vessels is 75 cm mercury and the temperature is 300k. (a) (5-0 J) of heat is supplied to the gas in the vessels.(b) (10 J) to the gas in the vessels B. Assuming no appreciable transfer of heat from A to B calculate the dufference in the heights of mercury in the two sides of the manometer. Gas constant (R = 8.3 JK^(-1) mol^(-1))

A glass tube sealed at both ends is 100cm long, It lies horizontally with the middle 10cm containing mercury. The two ends of the tube contain air at 27^(@)C and at a pressure 76cm of mercury. The air column on one side is maintained at 0^(@)C and the other side is maintained at 127^(@)C . Calculate the length of the air column on the cooler side. neglect the changes in the volume of mercury and of the glass.

Assertion (A) : Water is not essential for fertilization in Angiosperms. Reason (R ) : Pollen tube helps in fertilization, so water is not essential for fertilization

Assertion : Self-incompatibility is a genetic mechanism which prevents self-pollination and thereby fertilisation by inhibiting either pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil. Reason : In gametophytic self-incompatibility, the incompatibility reaction is determined by the genotype of the sporophytic tissue of the plant from which the pollen is derived.
