Zoospores, i.e. motile spores, are found in

  1. aspergillus

  2. rhizopus

  3. penicillium

  4. chlamydomonas


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Flagellated spores called zoospores are found in chlamydomonas.

Which of the following plant parts is/are utilised in clonal propagation?

  1. Apical bud

  2. Apical shoot

  3. Meristem

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The tissue culture method of plant propagation, known as 'clonal propagation or micropropagation', utilises the culture of apical shoots, apical buds and meristems on suitable nutrient medium.

A special mode of reproduction commonly observed in citrus species is

  1. parthenocarpy

  2. parthenogenesis

  3. polyembryony

  4. apomixis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Formation of more than one embryo in a seed is known as polyembryony. It is commonly observed in citrus species.

In which process does a diploid embryo sac directly develop from an ordinary diploid saprophyte cell?

  1. Diplospory

  2. Apospory

  3. Adventive embryony

  4. Apogamy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Apospory is a process in which diploid embryo sac directly develops from an ordinary diploid saprophyte cell.

What is the female sex organ of bryophytes called?

  1. Oogonia

  2. Archegonia

  3. Anthridia

  4. Egg apparatus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The female sex organ is called archegonia in bryophytes.

What happens in the process of parthenocarpy?

  1. Embryo develops directly from the cells of nucellus.

  2. Embryo develops from egg cell without fertilisation.

  3. Ovary develops into fruit without fertilisation.

  4. Embryo develops from any cell of the gametophyte other than the egg cell.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This process is called parthenocarpy.

What are leaves that bear sporangia called?

  1. Sporangiophores

  2. Sporophylls

  3. Strobili

  4. Pollens


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sporophylls are leaves that bear sporangia.

In which of the following plants are sporangia found on abaxial surface?

  1. Lycophytes

  2. Ferns

  3. Cycads

  4. Conifers


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In ferns, sporangia are found on the abaxial surface.

The lower swollen portion of archegonia is called

  1. neck

  2. venter

  3. paraphyses

  4. ovum


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The lower swollen portion of archegonia is known as venter.

What is the male gametes of lower plants called?

  1. Anthridia

  2. Sporophytes

  3. Spermatozoids

  4. Paraphyses


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The male gametes of lower plants are called spermatozoids.

What is the development of embryo from any cell of the gametophyte, other than the egg cell, called?

  1. Apogamy

  2. Adventive embryony

  3. Diplospory

  4. Apospory


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The development of embryo from any cell of the gametophyte, other than the egg cell, is called apogamy.

Where are sporangia found in lycophytes?

  1. Abaxial surface of leaves

  2. Adaxial surface of leaves

  3. Terminal side of stem

  4. Lateral side of stem


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sporangia are present at adaxial surface of leaves in lycophytes.

What is a cluster of sporangia that has become fused in development called?

  1. Sporophyll

  2. Synangium

  3. Columella

  4. Strobilus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A cluster of sporangia that has become fused in development is called a synangium. This structure is most prominent in Psilotum and Marattiaceae.

Which of the following statements is true about alternation of generation?

  1. Both gametophyte and sporophyte are haploid.

  2. Both gametophyte and sporophyte are diploid.

  3. Sporophyte is diploid and gametophyte is haploid.

  4. Gametophyte is diploid and sporophyte is haploid.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sporophyte is diploid and gametophyte is haploid in alternation of generation.

The process of reproduction in which formation of embryo takes place without fertilisation (fusion of gametes) is called

  1. polyembryony

  2. apomixis

  3. asexual reproduction

  4. micropropagation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A process of reproduction in which formation of embryo takes place without fertilisation (fusion of gametes) is called apomixis.
