  2. Explant

  3. Stock

  4. Callus


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Explanation: In biology, explant culture is a technique used for the isolation of cells from a piece or pieces of tissue. Tissue harvested in this manner is called an explant. It can be a portion of the shoot, leaves, or some cells from a plant, or can be any part of the tissue from an animal, or from umblical cord tissue.

Which of the following tree does not grow fast?

  1. Eucalyptus

  2. Gulmahor

  3. Asopalav

  4. Rose apple (jambu)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Asopalav is the common name of the tree Polyalthia longifolia. It is also called as false ashok due to its leaf shape. Among the given plants it takes longest time to grow about 10 years.

Assertion : Auxins promote apical dominance by suppressing the activity pf lateral buds.

Reason : In moriculture, periodic pruning of shoot tips is done to make mulberry plants bushy.

  1. If both the assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

  2. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion

  3. If the assertion is true but the reaon is false

  4. If both the assertion and reason are false

  5. If the assertion is false but reason is true


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Auxin is produced by shoot tip and acts as a growth promoter for apical bud and inhibit the growth of lateral buds. When a terminal bud is removed, the nearest axillary buds begin to grow and the plant branches rapidly. In case of mulberry plants, pruning is done to remove apical dominance and causes more branching of the main body of the plant.

Pneumatophores are common in?

  2. Acacia nilotica indica

  3. Brassica oleracea capitata

  4. Acacia nilotica nilotica


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An intraspecific name in which the species epithet is repeated is called autonym.

Acaccia is a perennial tree and also called as Babul, kikar, and prickly acacia.
So, the correct option is 'Acacia nilotica indica'.

The meristem that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plant is ____________.

  1. Procambium

  2. Intercalary meristem

  3. Phellogen

  4. Apical meristem


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A. Procambium is a plant tissue that came from the apical meristem which made the vascular bundles i.e, the xylem and the phloem.

B. Intercalary meristems are residual apical meristems that exist at the nodes and internodes which increases the length of the plant.

C. Phellogen is also famous as cork cambium which is a lateral meristem. It increases the girth of the plant.

D. The apical meristem is placed at the root and shoots tip. It helps in the primary growth of a planet by increasing the length of the plant.

The lateral meristem which occurs on the lateral side of the longitudinal axis stem. It is parallel to the longitudinal axis and also responsible for increasing the girth of a plant (secondary growth).

So, the correct answer is 'Phellogen'.

The correct option is C.

Phytotron in meant for

  1. Controlled irradiation

  2. Induction of mutations

A secondary compounds is not a part of the plants

  1. Defense against herbivores

  2. Normal metabolism

  4. embryology


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Secondary compounds are complex chemicals made by plants that are not essential to the life of the plant. They are thought to be produced primarily as pesticides and anti-grazing agents, but they also used as pigments, hormones and chemical agents that can attack other plants.

So, the correct option is 'Defense against herbivores'.
