The reproductive part of a plant is:
-
Leaf
-
Stem
-
Root
-
Flower
Flower is the reproductive part of the plant. Pistil, stamens, petals and sepals are the four main parts of the flower. Among this, pistil is the female reproductive part and it is made up of stigma, style and ovary. Stamen is the male reproductive part and it consists of filament and anther.
National flower of India is

Rafflesia
-
Lotus
-
Rose
-
Wolffia
Lotus, (Nelumbo nucifera) is the national flower of India. The lotus flower symbolizes divinity, fertility, wealth, knowledge and enlightenment. It is also regarded as a symbol of triumph as it can survive to regerminate for thousands of years.
In Clerodendron _________ flower opens first.
-
Peripheral
-
Younger
-
Terminal
-
Lower
Clerodendron shows cymose inflorescence so younger flowers are present at the base of the inflorescence, while older flowers are present at the top. Such an arrangement is called basipetal succession. The peripheral flowers open first.
The major role of flower in the life of plant is to?
-
Produce offspring's
-
Synthesize enzymes and hormones
-
Secrete honey and scent
-
Attract insects for pollination
The primary role of a flower is reproduction. They are the reproductive organs of a plant and they help in the joining of the pollen and the ovules to produce an offspring.
Which of the following represent zygomorphic symmetry?
-
Canna, Mustard, Chilly, Datura
-
Mustard, Canna, Pea, Datura
-
Pea, Bean, Cassia, Gulmohar
-
Pea, Bean, Canna, Chilly
- Zygomorphic symmetry, also known as bilateral symmetry occurs in a flower through which it can pass only one plane of symmetry that will divide it into two parts.
- The Fabaceae or Leguminosae, commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family are a large and economically important family of flowering plants which has a zygomorphic flower.
- Pea, bean, Cassia and Gulmohar belong to Fabaceae.
Which one of the following statements is correct ?
-
In tomato, fruit is a capsule
-
Seeds of orchids have oil-rich endosperm
-
Placentation in primose is basal
-
Flower of tulip is a modified shoot
The bulb is the modified underground stem surrounded by the fleshy leaves. It usually contains stored food like the tulip bulb. Also, a capsule is a type of simple but mostly dry and dehiscent fruit. Some examples are Cotton, Eucalyptus, Datura, Witch Hazel. Orchid seeds don’t have endosperm. Primrose is having free central placentation.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Identify the wrong statement.
-
A plant that bears male, female and bisexual flowers is polygamous
-
Actinomorphic flower can be dissected into two equal halves from any plane
-
Superior ovary is found in hypogynous flowers
-
Side of the flower towards the bract is called posterior side
The wrong statement is " the side of the flower towards the bract is called posterior side"
In Hibiscus, plants grow from
-
Seeds
-
Flowers
-
Roots
-
Branches
Both hardy and tropical hibiscus are propagated from cuttings. Hibiscus cuttings are normally the preferred way of propagating hibiscus because a cutting will grow to be an exact copy of the parent plant. When using hibiscus cuttings to propagate hibiscus, start by taking the cutting. The cutting should be taken from new growth or softwood. Softwood is branches on the hibiscus that have not yet matured. Softwood will be pliable and often has a greenish cast. You will mostly find softwood on a hibiscus in spring or early summer.
The botanical name of boat lily is
-
Tradescantia
-
Syzygium aromaticum
-
Calotropis
-
Homo sapien
Tradescantia spathacea is boat lily. Calotropis is milkweed. Homo sapien is human. Syzygium aromaticum is cloves.
Reproduction in rose plant is through
-
Stem
-
Flowers
-
Roots
-
Seeds
A small part of a plant which is removed by making a cut with a sharp knife is called a 'cutting'. A cutting may be a piece of stem, root or even a leaf. While making a cut, care should be taken to see that there are some buds on it. Cutting is a part of artificial reproduction. In this method, a cutting of the parent plant (say, of stem or shoot) having some buds on it is taken and its lower part is buried in the moist soil. After a few days, the cutting develops roots, shoot and grows into a new plant. Cuttings are a means of asexual reproduction in plants. The new plant formed from a cutting is exactly similar to the parent plant. The plants like rose, Bougainvillea, Chrysanthemum, grapes, sugarcane, bananas, and cactus, etc., can be grown by means of cuttings. For example, rose plant and Chrysanthemum are propagated (or reproduced) by means cuttings from stems (or shoots) as follows. A piece of stem (or side shoot) having bud is cut from an existing rose plant with the help of a knife. The lower part of this gutting is buried in moist soil. After a few days, the end of cutting buried in soil develops roots and later on grows to become a new rose plant. An advantage of cuttings method is that by using this method we can produce many new plants from just one plant quickly, without waiting for flowers and sexual reproduction.
Trees without flowers
-
Mustards
-
Palm trees
-
Pine trees
-
Pomegrenedes
Conifers belong to gymnosperm. These have seeds in the cones. These are non-flowering plants. Cones are the reproductive organs. These are characterized by needle-shaped leaf.
Calotropis is the botanical name for
-
Lotus
-
Jasmine
-
Milkweed
-
Oleander
Calotropis is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1810. It is native to southern Asia and North Africa. They are commonly known as milkweeds because of the latex they produce. Calotropis species are considered common weeds in some parts of the world. The flowers are fragrant and are often used in making floral tassels in some mainland Southeast Asian cultures. Fibers of these plants are called as madar or mader. Calotropis species are usually found in abandoned farmland. Lotus is Nelumbo nucifera. Jasmine is Jasminum sp. Oleander is Nerium sp.
The plant which opens during nights and closes in daytime is
-
Night queen
-
Touch-me-not
-
Vallisneria
-
Jasmine
The plant which opens during nights and closes in daytime is night queen. It is called as raat ki rani in India. It is an evergreen woody shrub growing to 4 metres (13 ft) tall. The leaves are simple, narrow lanceolate, 6–20 centimetres (2.4–7.9 in) long and 2–4.5 centimetres (0.79–1.77 in) broad, smooth and glossy, with an entire margin.
The floral bud is enclosed by which part of the flower?
-
Sepals
-
Petals
-
Tepals
-
Stamen
Floral bud is the undeveloped or embryonic shoot which is protected by the sepals during bud stage which gets mature and it forms coloured petals that helps flower to attract pollinators.
What are the characteristics associated with the flower?
-
Green leaves
-
Colourful petals
-
Green sepals
-
Both B and C
- Calyx which is considered as the outermost whorl and its unit is known as sepals and are green in colour helps in protection of bud of a flower.
- Corolla is the second nonessential unit and is composed of petals and are coloured which helps to attract pollinators.
So, the correct option is 'Both B and C'.
Bell shaped flowers are found in
-
Maize
-
Datura
-
Chrysanthemum
-
Marigold
- Maize has an inflorescence of spikelets as flowers are born on an axis called rachilla surrounded by bracts.
- Datura flower is bell-shaped and a solitary flower.
- Chrysanthemum often shows solitary head inflorescence.
- Marigold has spike inflorescence means with short or no pedicel are elongated and unbranched peduncle.
Flower is the part of the plant which
-
Forms the vegetable
-
Forms the fruit
-
Contains the stamens and pistil
-
All of the above
The flower is considered as the modified shoot that is meant for reproduction and contains the reproductive organs stamen (male reproductive part) and pistil (female reproductive part) and after fertilization, its parts convert into fruits and vegetables as a result of reproduction.
The ovary contains the small structures called as
-
Beads
-
Ovules
-
Pollens
-
Both B and C
Carpels, pistil or gynoecium are the female reproductive part of the flower that consists of a stigma that holds the pollen grains, the style that leads the path of pollen tube and ovary produce small structures called ovules or ovum (female gamete).
