Select the mismatched pair of organism and its mode of multiplication.

  1. Organism - Agave, Oxalis; Mode of multiplication - Bulbils

  2. Organism - Amoeba, Paramecium; Mode of multiplication - Binary fission

  3. Organism - Chlamydomonas, Ulothrix; Mode of multiplication - Sporangiospores

  4. Organism - Adiantum ; Mode of multiplication - Adventitious buds present at leaf tips


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sporangiospores are non-motile spores produced inside the sporangia. They are generally dispersed by wind and germinate to produce new mycelium (e.g., Rhizopus, Mucor, etc.) In Chlamydomonas and Ulothrix, zoospores are formed.

So, the correct answer is 'Organism - Chlamydomonas, Ulothrix; Mode of multiplication - Sporangiospores'.

Vegetative propagation is the term used for

  1. Sexual reproduction in animals

  2. Sexual reproduction in plants

  3. Asexual reproduction in animals

  4. Asexual reproduction in plants


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Vegetative propagation (vegetative reproduction) is the formation of new plants from vegetative units such as buds, tubers, rhizomes, etc. This term is used for asexual reproduction in plants. Plants with reduced power of sexual reproduction, long dormant period of seed or poor viability are multiplied easily through vegetative propagation.
So, the correct answer is 'Asexual reproduction in plants'.

Which of the following is not used for vegetative propagation?

  1. Bud

  2. Bulbil

  3. Turion

  4. Antherozoid


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In sexually reproduction organisms, the male gamete is called the antherozoid or sperm and the female gamete is known as the egg or ovum. They are not used for vegetative propagation.

So, the correct answer is 'antherozoid'

A process of multiplication in which a portion of fragment of plant body function as propagule and develops into new individual is called 

  1. vegetative propagation

  2. sexual propagation

  3. regeneration

  4. metamorphosis


Correct Option: A

Which of the following involves the formation of new plants from roots, stems, and leaves?

  1. Sexual reproduction

  2. Vegetative reproduction

  3. Layering

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Vegetative reproduction involves the formation of new plants from roots, stems, and leaves. It is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is identical to the parent. It mainly involves the mitosis. So, the correct answer is option B.

Which is not a method of vegetative propagation?

  1. Micropropagation

  2. Budding

  3. Sowing

  4. Layering


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Here, only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent.
Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern tissue culture methods.
Layering is a means of plant propagation, in which a portion of an aerial stem grows roots while still attached to the parent plant and then detaches as an independent plant.
Sowing is to scatter the seeds over the land for growth
So, the correct answer is 'Sowing'

Vegetative propagation does not involve the formation of new plants from old 

  1. Roots

  2. Stems

  3. Leaves

  4. Flowers


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent.
Almost all types of shoots and roots are capable of vegetative propagation, including, stems, basal shoots, tubers, rhizomes, stolons, corms, bulbs, and buds. In a few species, even leaves are involved in vegetative propagation. However, flowers are never involved in vegetative propagation.

Plants have lost their capacity to produce seeds, reproduce by

  1. Spores

  2. Vegetative propagation

  3. Fission

  4. Regeneration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If the plants lose their capacity to produce seed, the plant undergoes asexual reproduction through their vegetative parts like stem, leaf, branch, etc.

So the correct option is 'Vegetative propagation.'

Clone is

  1. Descendants of a single parent

  2. Vegetatively produced descendants of a single parent

  3. Sexually produced descendants of a single couple

  4. All the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A clone is considered as the vegetatively produced descendants of a single parent because of following reason: 

1) Fusion of gametes does not takes place in vegetative propagation so there is no chance of recombination and variation.
2) The parent cell divides to form daughter cell by mitosis due to which the offspring is genetically identical to the parent.
3) The offspring produced are clones of their parent and have same number of chromosomes.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Clones are individuals obtained through

  1. Self pollination

  2. Cross pollination

  3. Vegetative propagation

  4. Hybridisation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Vegetatively propagated plants are the clone of their own parents because of the following reasons:
1) Fusion of gametes does not take place in vegetative propagation so there is no chance of recombination and variation.
2) The parent cell divides to form daughter cell by mitosis due to which the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
3) The offspring produced are clones of their parent and have the same number of chromosomes.
Self-pollination, cross-pollination and hybridization involve fusion of gametes so it can cause recombination and the offspring produced are variants, not the clone.
So, the correct answer is option C.

Which one of the following statements is not correct regarding vegetative propagation?

  1. Vegetative propagation produces clonal population

  2. Micro propagation is the fastest technique of vegetative propagation

  3. Vegetative propagation can go on round the year

  4. Vegetative propagation helps to eliminate the vrius


Correct Option: A

The most significant feature of vegetative propagation is that

  1. It enables rapid production of genetic variation

  2. It is a means of producing a large population of individuals genetically identical to the parent

  3. It ensures that the progeny are safe from attack of diseases and pests

  4. It is an ancient practice


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction of a plant. Only one plant is involved and the offspring is the result of one parent. The new plant is genetically identical to the parent. The offspring of the plants are clones of the original plant since no mixing of DNA occurs. The most common forms of vegetative propagation are grafting, cutting, layering, tuber, bulb or stolon formation, suckering and tissue culture.

So, the correct option is, 'it is a means of producing a large population of individuals genetically identical to the parent'.

Offspring produced by vegetative propagation are

  1. haploid

  2. triploid

  3. genetically identical

  4. superior to offspring produced by sexual reproduction


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Asexual reproduction or vegetative reproduction is when offspring are genetically identical to the parent. The offspring of the plants are clones of the original plant since no mixing of DNA occurs. The most common forms of vegetative propagation are graftingcutting, layering, tuber, bulb or stolon formation, suckering and tissue culture.

So, the correct option is, 'genetically identical'.

Which of the following is not a vegetative part of plant?

  1. Carpel

  2. Thalamus

  3. Stipules

  4. Calyx


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • In plants, receptacle or thalamus is a thick part of the stem from which the flower organs grow. Stipule is a small leafy outgrowth at the base of the leaf. The sepals of a flower that form a whorl enclosing the petals and forms a protective layer around the flowers.
  • Carpels, on the other hand, is the female reproductive organ in a flower consisting an ovary, a stigma and probably a style. It produces egg cells and protects a developing baby plant.
So the carpels are not vegetative part of the plant. Hence the correct answer is option A

Read the assertion (A) and reason (R) carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:
A
. There are some plants which have in their life-cycles neither the process of fertilization nor they have meiosis.
R. In these plants, the vegetative or somatic plant body helps in the propagation of the plant.

  1. Both the Assertion and the Reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.

  2. Both the Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

  3. The Assertion is true but the Reason false.

  4. Both the Assertion and Reason are false.

  5. The assertion is false but reason is true.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Organisms reproduce for perpetuation of species because individuals have a limited life span. Organisms may reproduce sexually as well as asexually. The sexual reproduction involves formation of haploid gametes through the process of reduction division or meiosis. The haploid gametes fuse during fertilization to form diploid zygote. Thus, restoring the normal ploidy. The asexual reproduction does not involves gamete formation through meiosis or their fertilization. The vegetative propagation in plants is a type of asexual reproduction in which plant body is propagated directly from some vegetative part of adult plant.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Growing two or more crops in definite row patterns is known as 

  1. crop rotation

  2. inter-cropping

  3. mixed cropping

  4. organic cropping


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Intercropping involves growing two or more crops simultaneously on same field but they are not mixed with each other. They are grown in set pattern. They are grown in alternating rows. This pattern prevents pests and diseases to spread in all the plants of one crops in the field.
