Question

Choose the incorrect statements among the following: A) Sexual reproduction in plants was discovered by Malpighi in Maize. B) The Micropropagation results in development of large number of plants in Laboratory. C) Phylogenetic classification was proposed by the studies of Mendel during 19th century. D) Went identified the Auxins presence

• A. A, B
• B. B, C
• C. A, C
• D. B, D

Hint:

Remember: Camerarius = Sexual reproduction, Mendel = Genetics, Went = Auxins.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: The task.
We must pick the two statements that are wrong.

Step 2: Checking statement A.
A says sexual reproduction in plants was discovered by Malpighi in maize. This is wrong. It was Camerarius who first showed that plants reproduce sexually. So A is incorrect.

Step 3: Checking statement B.
B says micropropagation gives a large number of plants in the lab. That is the correct meaning of micropropagation, so B is fine.

Step 4: Checking statement C.
C says phylogenetic classification came from Mendels work in the 19th century. This is wrong. Mendel studied inheritance of traits, not the evolutionary grouping of plants. So C is incorrect.

Step 5: Checking statement D.
D says Went identified auxins. This is true, F.W. Went discovered auxin from oat coleoptiles. So D is correct.

Step 6: Conclusion.
The two wrong statements are A and C. Therefore the correct answer is "A, C". \[ \\boxed{\\text{A, C}} \]
