NEETBotanyPlant - Growth and Development
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: A sigmoid curve is typical for all cells, tissues and organs of a plant Reason: In a geometrical growth curve a typical sigmoid curve is achieved
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
Step-by-step solution
If we plot the parameter of growth against time, we get a typical sigmoid or S-curve (Figure 15.6). A sigmoid curve is a characteristic of living organism growing in a natural environment. It is typical for all cells, tissues and organs of a plant.
