In a homozygous plant self-pollination

  1. Is never possible

  2. Yields progeny which are highly gentically variable

  3. Yields progeny which are not genetically variable

  4. Is generally overcome by various adaptations


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

self-pollination causes an increase in homozygosity in progeny in every generation of selfing up to approximately 96% in the F5, and selfing of homozygous line produce genetically similar progeny with negligible or little variability. So, the correct option is C. ( Yields progeny which are not genetically variable )

Maturation of anthers and stigma at the same time is?

  1. Allogamy

  2. Xenogamy

  3. Homogamy

  4. Dichogamy


Correct Option: C

A tobacco plant which is heterozygous for albinism (a recessive character) is self pollinated if 1200 seeds are subsequently germinated, how many of the seedlings would have the parental genotype

  1. 300

  2. 600

  3. 900

  4. 1200


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

XX X Xx ...      Parents

I

XX Xx Xx xx ...     Fl hybrid

In Fl generation half of the total offsprings represent 
parental genotype i.e., Xx. Therefore out of 1200 seedling 600 will have parental genotype.

In cleistogamous flowers

  1. Both geitonogamy and xenogamy are not possible

  2. Only xenogamy is not possible

  3. Only geitonogamy is not possible

  4. Both geitonogamy and xenogamy are possible


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cleistogamy is a type of automatic self-pollination of certain plants that can propagate by using non-opening, self-pollinating flowers. Since geitonogamy is the fertilization of a flower by pollen from another flower on the same (or a genetically identical) plant and geitonogamy is the fertilization of a flower by pollen from a flower on a genetically different plant and it is known that a cleistogamous flower is unable to pollinate via any of these methods. So, the correct option is "A" (Both geitonogamy and xenogamy are not possible).

Repeated self pollination over the generations produces.

  1. New varieties

  2. Elimination of weak traits

  3. Better progeny

  4. Weak progeny


Correct Option: D

Effect of pollen on character of pericarp and seed coat is?

  1. Xenia

  2. Metaxenia

  3. Ruminate endosperm

  4. Chimera


Correct Option: B

Which of the following statement is correct?

  1. Chasmogamous flowers always exhibit geitonogamy

  2. Cleistogamous flowers always exhibit autogamy

  3. Chasmogamous flowers never exhibit autogamy

  4. Cleistogamous flowers exhibit both autogamy and geitonogamy


Correct Option: B

In sunflower, self pollination is avoided by _________.

  1. Protogyny

  2. Unisexuality

  3. Self sterility

  4. Protandry


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A state in androgynous frameworks that is described by the improvement of male organs or development of their items previously the presence of the relating female item hence restraining self-treatment and that is experienced generally in mints, vegetables, and composites.
So, the correct option is 'Protandry'.

In which one of the following plant species can self-pollination never occur either naturally or artificially?

  1. Zen mays

  2. Gossypium hirsutum

  3. Saccharum officinarum

  4. Carica papaya


Correct Option: A

Match the entries in Column 1 with those of column 2 and choose the correct answer:

         Column 1(Name of pollination)         Column 2(Type of pollination)
(a) Cleistogamy (m) Insect pollination
(b) Geitonogamy (n) Bud pollination
(c) Entomophily (o) Pollination between flowers in the same plant
(d) Xenogamy (p) Wind pollination
(q) Cross pollination
  1. a-o;b-m;c-q;d-n

  2. a-m;b-q;c-n;d-o

  3. a-n;b-o;c-m;d-q

  4. a-q;b-p;c-o;d-n


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cleistogamy is the type of automatic self-pollination of certain plants. This is a form that is used to propagate plants by using self-pollinating flowers in bud state. This is also known as bud pollination.

•           Geitonogamy is the process for which the fertilization of a flower by pollen from another flower on the same plant.

•           Entomophily is the process in which pollinations are carried out by insects.

•           Xenogamy is the process of transfer of pollen grains to the stigma of a different plant. This process is cross-pollination.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

The condition of maturation of anthers and stigmas of the same flower simultaneously is

  1. Xenogamy

  2. Geitonogamy

  3. Allogamy

  4. Homogamy


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Geitonogamy: The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower borne by the same plant.

Xenogamy: Transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower borne on a different plant but belonging to the same species.

Allogamy is the deposition of pollen grains from the anther of the one flower on the stigma of another flower, either in the same plant or in a different plant of the same species.

Homogamy: It is the condition in which flowers are bisexual anther and stigma mature at the same time to make self-pollination possible. Under this condition, the stigma receives the pollen grains from the anthers of the same flower by the agency of wind or insects.

 So, the correct answer is D.

What is pre-requisite for self pollination?

  1. Chasmogamy

  2. Homogamy

  3. Absence of pollenkitt

  4. Absence of nectar


Correct Option: A

The condition of maturation of stigma before anthers of the same flower is

  1. Protandry

  2. Herkogamy

  3. Protogyny

  4. Prepotency


Correct Option: C

Assertion (A):  Self ineompatibility is not an absolute phenomenon.
Reason (R): Even highly self-incompatible species can be self-pollinated by one stratagem or another.

  1. Both A and Rare individually true and R is the correct explanation of A

  2. Both A and Rare individually true and R is not the correct explanation of A

  3. A is true but R is false

  4. A is false but R is true Assertion


Correct Option: A

Consider the following with reference to sporophytic (SSI) or gametophytic (GSI) self-incompatibility systems:
1. SSI-3 celled pollen, rejection reaction on the stigma
2. GSI -2 celled pollen, rejection reaction in the style. SSI -2 called pollen, rejection reaction in the style.
3. 
GSI- 3 celled pollen, rejection reaction on the stigma
Which of these features are correct in the case of sporophytic gametophytic self- incompatibility systems?

  1. 1 and 2

  2. 2 and 3

  3. 2 and 4

  4. 3 and 4


Correct Option: A
