The herbaceous plant Achillea lanulosa is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Phenotypic variation in the species has been extensively studied along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to over 3,000 meters. In California there is conspicuous variation in  height; alpine plants are only several centimeters tall  while  those in  the San Joaquin Valley may reach a height of 1.8 meters. Adaptation to different local environments also results in variation in physiological processes such as photosynthetic rate, resistance to cold, and the timing of dormancy.

The morphological variation shown by Achillea lanulosa illustrates

Choose the incorrect statement regarding the Van der Waals interactions & Hydrogen bonds

1. In Van der Waals interactions greater the area of contact the stronger the interaction.

2. In Van der Waals interactions greater the area of contact the weaker  the interaction.

3. Hydrogen bonds Relative strength is inversely proportional to the polarity More polar atoms form weak H bonds.

4. Hydrogen bonds Relative strength is directly proportional to the polarity More polar atoms form stronger H bonds.
