In which of the following types of pollination are genetically different types of pollen grains brought to the stigma?

a. Xenogamy b. Geitonogamy c. Autogamy

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Xenogamy brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma during pollination. It is because in xenogamy, transfer of pollen grains takes place from anther to the stigma of a different plant.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. In flowers of different species, the number and length of stamens are variable.

Microsporangium is generally surrounded by four wall layers. Which of the following layers perform(s) the function of protection?

a. The epidermis b. The endothecium c. The middle layer d. The tapetum

  1. Only a and d

  2. Only b and c

  3. Only a, b and c

  4. Only c and d

  5. Only d


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The function of the epidermis, the endothecium and the middle layer is protection. They also help in dehiscence of anther to release the pollen.

Which of the following statements regarding pollen grains is/are false?

a. The hard outer layer of pollen grains is made up of sporopollenin. b. A mature pollen grain contains vegetative cell and generative cell. c. The exine is the inner wall of a pollen grain that is made up of cellulose and pectin.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only c

  5. Only b and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The intine is the inner wall of a pollen grain that is made up of cellulose and pectin.

Which of the following statements is/are false?

a. After triple fusion, the central cell becomes the primary endosperm cell and develops into an embryo. b. Both syngamy and triple fusion take place in an embryo sac. c. Embryo develops at the micropylar end of the embryo sac where the zygote is situated.

  1. Only a

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option as this statement is false. After triple fusion, the central cell becomes the primary endosperm cell and develops into the endosperm.

Which of the following are examples of water-pollinated plants?

a. Vallisneria b. Hydrilla c. Water hyacinth d. Water lily

  1. Only a and b

  2. Only a and c

  3. Only a and d

  4. Only b and c

  5. Only b and d


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Vallisneria and Hydrilla are examples of water-pollinated plants.

Which of the following devices is/are developed by flowering plants to discourage self-pollination and to encourage cross-pollination?

  1. Pollen release and stigma receptivity not being synchronised

  2. Anther and stigma being placed in different positions

  3. Self-incompatibility

  4. Production of unisexual flowers

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option as all of the above are the devices developed by flowering plants to discourage self-pollination and to encourage cross-pollination.

The seeds retaining a part of endosperm due to it not being completely used up during embryo development are albuminous seeds. Which of the following plants have albuminous seeds?

a. Pea b. Barley c. Groundnut d. Maize

  1. Only a and c

  2. Only b and c

  3. Only b and d

  4. Only a and d

  5. Only c and d


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct option. Barley and maize have albuminous seeds as these seeds retain a part of endosperm due to it not being completely used up during embryo development.

a. Mango b. Banana c. Apple d. Cashew

  1. Only c and d

  2. Only a and b

  3. Only b and c

  4. Only a and c

  5. Only b and d


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Mango and banana are true fruits as they develop only from the ovary.

  2. Stigma

  3. Sepal

  4. Stamen

  5. Petal


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct option as stamens are the male reproductive part of a flower.

The portion of embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is called the

  1. epicotyl

  2. coleorrhiza

  3. radicle

  4. hypocotyl

  5. coleoptile


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct option. The portion of embryonal axis above the level of cotyledons is called the epicotyl.

Which of the following is a tetragonal structure consisting of four microsporangia that are located at the corners?
