  1. Water turns into snow on mountains

  2. Water runs away due to the presence of slopes and can not be used by plant (physiological dryness)

  3. Rocks of mountains cannot absorb water

  4. None of them is correct

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

(b) Steep slopes cause fast, running of water which result in erosion and do not Permit the accumulation of hymns so the soil cordless denjuded` In sulked soil plants cannot grow properly and vegetation changes into xerophytic plants. In valleys humus accumulates, so they have luxuriant vegetation and slopes contain xerophytic Plants.

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • The period for which pollen grains remain viable is highly variable and to some extent depends on the prevailing temperature and humidity. 
  • The pistil is developed and ovules reach maturity before the pollen grains are ripe. Hybrid seed production as soon as tomato hybrid cultivars gained popularity, ordinary conditions of storage pollen viability can hardly be retained.
