Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Grape seeds are stratified to break dormancy to get higher percentage of germination
Reason R: Seeds contain high level of GA and low level of phenols.
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:

"Dormancy = High ABA Phenols + Low GA." Stratification reverses this balance, promoting the synthesis of GA and breaking down phenolic inhibitors to initiate germination.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
