CBSEENBI11003532

Assertion : Storage of seeds at low temperature is possible.

Reason : Respiration and anzymatic activity of seeds are very high at low temperature.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false

Solution

C.

If assertion is true but reason is false

Seeds can last from a few years to centuries, depending on the species and the storage conditions. In general, most seeds stored in cool, dry conditions will survive longer than seeds stored in a wet, warm environment. This is because due to low moisture content and low temperature as it helps in reducing the seed viability.
