Question

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option in question.

Assertion: Bract is a reduced leaf found at the base of the pedicel.

Reason: Flowers with bracts are called ebracteate and those without bracts, abracteate.

Answer 1

The small-size reduced leaves present at the base of the pedicel are known as bracts. The flowers which have bracts are called bracteate and those without bracts are known as ebracteate.

Hence, the assertion statement is correct but the reason statement is wrong.
