Q23 of 77 Page 65

The term ‘desirable trait’ can mean different things for different plants. Justify the statement with suitable examples.

A character that is desirable and advantageous for one plant can be undesirable or a disadvantage for another plant.

For example: If the character of height is taken into consideration, tallness can be desirable for one plant whereas undesirable for another plant. Same is the case with the dwarfness.


Like for the cereal plants, dwarfness is a desirable trait not tallness. Similarly for the fodder and woody plants tallness is a desirable trait not dwarfness.
