Q.
Diagram $A$ and $B$ indicate the shape of leaves in larkspur and buttercup respectively, choose the correct option
A) The juvenile and adult leaf of larkspur differ in size due to genetic and plant growth regulator factors
B) Both leaf of buttercup differ in size due to genetic and intercellular factors
C) Both larkspur and buttercup leaf size variation is due to habitat plasticity
D) None of the above
Explanation
Diagram (A) is showing the heterophylly in larkspur showing, different shapes in leaves of the some plants due to difference in the maturity, i.e., at juvenile and at adult phase respectively. Diagram (B) is showing heterophylly in buttercup, difference in shape of leaves of the same plant in different environment (R) terrestrial and water habitat, respectively
