Refer to the given diagrammatic represention of parts of two different types of tissues , P and Q.
Read the following statements regarding these tissues and select the correct statements .
(i)P is a plant whereas Q is an animal tissue.
(ii)P is the major water conducting tissue in vascular plants and provides mechanical strength to plant body.
(iii)Q is a specialised tissue in animals for receiving stimuli and transmitting messages .
(iv) P is composed of all dead cells whereas Q is composed of all living cells.

Options

A. (i) and (ii) only
B. (iii) and (iv) only
C. (i) and (iii) only
D. (i),(iii) and (iv) only

Answer

To solve the question regarding the two types of tissues P and Q, we will analyze each statement provided and determine their correctness based on the characteristics of plant and animal tissues.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify Tissue P and Q:**
- Tissue P is identified as a plant tissue, specifically the phloem, which is responsible for the transport of food in plants.
- Tissue Q is identified as an animal tissue, specifically a neuron, which is responsible for receiving stimuli and transmitting messages.

2. **Evaluate Statement (i):**
- "P is a plant whereas Q is an animal tissue."
- This statement is **correct** because P is indeed a plant tissue (phloem) and Q is an animal tissue (neuron).

3. **Evaluate Statement (ii):**
- "P is the major water conducting tissue in vascular plants and provides mechanical strength to the plant body."
- This statement is **incorrect**. The major water-conducting tissue in vascular plants is xylem, not phloem. Phloem primarily conducts food.

4. **Evaluate Statement (iii):**
- "Q is a specialized tissue in animals for receiving stimuli and transmitting messages."
- This statement is **correct**. Neurons (Q) are specialized for this function in animals.

5. **Evaluate Statement (iv):**
- "P is composed of all dead cells whereas Q is composed of all living cells."
- This statement is **incorrect**. While phloem does contain some living cells (like companion cells), it also has sieve tubes which are living but lack a nucleus. Thus, not all cells in P are dead.

### Conclusion:
Based on the evaluations:
- Correct statements: (i) and (iii).
- Incorrect statements: (ii) and (iv).

### Final Answer:
The correct statements regarding the tissues P and Q are:
- (i) P is a plant whereas Q is an animal tissue.
- (iii) Q is a specialized tissue in animals for receiving stimuli and transmitting messages.
