Assertion (A): | Plant growth is intimately linked to the water status of the plant while development is not. |
Reason (R): | The plant cells grow in size by cell enlargement which in turn requires water. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False. |

Statement I: | Differentiation in plant cells is an irreversible process, under normal condition, where cells acquire specific structures to perform specialized functions. |
Statement II: | Dedifferentiation in plants occurs when previously differentiated cells regain the capacity to divide under certain conditions, forming meristematic tissues like cork cambium. |
