  2. Dicliny

  3. Dichogamy

  4. Heterostyly


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is defined as the condition when both the anther and the stigma of a bisexual flower mature at the same time, due to which self pollination is very easily achieved, e.g. Mirabilis jalapa.

  4. Helical type


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Here the nuclear division is followed by wall formation. Consequently the embryosac has several chambers. Some of the chambers may have more than one nucleus.

Pick out the wrong statement regarding the anemophilous flowers.

  1. These are very small flowers.

  4. They have long and feathery stigmas.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is seen in all the anemophilous trees that the flowers are produced after all the leaves are shed, so that the pollen are easily taken away by wind without any interference.

  4. Basal placentation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here the placentas are located in a central column within a non-sectioned ovary of the flowers. The prominent example is Portulaca.

Which type of placentation is present in Beans & Pea?

  1. Marginal placentation

  2. Axile placentation

  3. Free central placentation

  4. Free basal placentation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here the ovary is monocarpellary, monolocular and the placenta is on the ventral suture. The ovules are attached to the placenta which is on the margin. The prominent examples are Beans, Pea, etc.

In which of the following ovules does the micropyle at the right angle to funicle?

  1. Circinotropous

  2. Hemianatropous

  3. Anatropous

  4. Orthotropous


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Here, the ovule takes a 90o turn making the micropyle is at right angle to the funicle.

Inflorescence with a pendulous peduncle is

  1. simple raceme

  2. panicle

  3. spike

  4. catkin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This inflorescence is defined as a modified type of spike with a pendulous peduncle having unisexual flowers. The prominent examples are Acalypha, Mulberry, etc.

Which inflorescence is present in Heliotropium?

  1. Polychasial Cyme

  2. Dichasial Cyme

  3. Monochasial Cyme

  4. Solitary Cyme


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here the peduncle ends in a flower, consequently one branch of the peduncle develops at a lower level and ends in a flower. The prominent example is heliotropium.

The flowers show centripetal arrangement in

  1. spadix

  2. corymb

  3. umbel

  4. capitulum


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here the main axis is shortened and bears at its tip a whorl of bracts. From the axil of each bract a flower arises. All the flowers are located at the same level. The flowers show centripetal arrangement. The prominent example is Hydrocotyle.

The root hairs are produced in the region of

  1. region of maturation

  2. region of elongation

  3. region of cell division

  4. root cap region


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Here the cells located differentiates into different types of tissues. This region produces root hairs. These root hairs take part in the absorption of water and mineral salts from the soil.

Which of the following roots are not meant for mechanical support?

  1. Clinging roots

  2. Stilt roots

  3. Epiphytic roots

  4. Prop roots


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

These roots posses a special tissue called the velamen. This tissue absorbs moisture from the air and makes it available to the plant. These roots do not penetrate the host tissue like parasitic roots. The prime examples includes Vanda.

The modified roots present in Ipomoea batatas is

  1. fusiform root

  2. napiform root

  3. conical root

  4. tubercular root


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This type of root is prominently seen in Ipomoea batotas (sweet potato) where the modified adventitious root is swollen without any definite shape. It is always produced singly and not in clusters.

The mode of pollination in Arisaema & Arum bulbs is

  1. chiropterophily

  2. ornithophily

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This type of pollination is being done by snails.The prime examples are Arisaema & Arum bulbs.

Rubber is propagated by

  1. gootee

  2. grafting

  3. layering

  4. cutting


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is defined as the process of combining together the parts of 2 different plants of closely related species in such a way that they live as one plant. The prime examples are Rubber, Apple, Pear, etc.

Respiratory quotient is 0.7 for

  1. carbohydrates

  2. proteins

  3. fats

  4. fats associated with carbohydrate synthesis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The respiratory quotient for fats such as tripalmitin is 0.7.

The roots possessing bead-like swellings are

  1. fasciculated roots

  2. annulated roots

  3. moniliform roots

  4. nodulose roots


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

These roots are prominently seen in momordica where the roots show bead-like swellings at regular & definite intervals.

Vocal cords are present in

  1. oropharynx

  2. glottis

  3. larynx

  4. pharynx


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is defined as the narrow opening into the larynx which is guarded by a flap of tissue called the epiglottis. It contains vocal cords.

  3. yawning

  4. sneezing


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

These are the sudden movements of the diaphragm. It is an involuntary phenomenon occuring in the body.

Lungs are enclosed by

  1. pericardium

  2. renal capsule

  3. pleura

  4. glisson's capsule


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The lungs are surrounded by a thin membrane known as the pleura which lines the thoracic cavity.

Which among the following does not characterise the open circulatory system?

  1. Blood flows with high velocity in the body.

  2. Direct exchange of materials between the cells and the blood in the body.

  3. RBCs are absent in the blood.

  4. The blood flows from the heart into the arteries.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In open circulatory system, the blood usually flows at a very low velocity and at low pressure as the smooth muscles are absent .

Which of the following does not characterise closed circulatory system?

  1. Blood flows at high speed.

  2. The blood itself increases the efficiency of circulation.

  3. The blood flows in blood vessels only.

  4. The volume of blood is independent of the muscles of the blood vessels.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In this type of circulatory system, the volume of blood flowing through any organ of the body is regulated by the contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the blood vessels.
