Statement (II): If dark period is interrupted even by a flash of light, SDP will flower.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Options
- ABoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
- BBoth Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
- CStatement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
- DStatement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.
Correct answer
C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
Step-by-step solution
Short Day Plants (SDP) require a continuous, uninterrupted dark period that exceeds a critical duration for flowering to occur. Therefore, Statement (I) is correct.
If this dark period is interrupted even by a brief flash of light, the flowering in SDP is inhibited, and they will not flower. Therefore, Statement (II) is incorrect.
Answer: Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
If this dark period is interrupted even by a brief flash of light, the flowering in SDP is inhibited, and they will not flower. Therefore, Statement (II) is incorrect.
Answer: Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
