Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: In monocot plants Grafting is difficult with low percentage of takes as compared to dicots.
Reason R: Monocots have vascular bundle scattered throughout the stem as compared to dicots.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. A is false but R is true

Hint:

"No Cambium = No Grafting." Dicots have a ring-shaped active cambium layer, whereas monocots have closed, scattered vascular bundles without any cambium, making standard grafting unsuccessful in monocots.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
