  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. 2

  4. 1

  1. Reniform

  2. Sagittate

  3. Hastate

  4. Auriculate

The citrus fruits; like orange, and lemon are the examples of ------------ type of fruits.

  1. berry

  2. pepo

  3. pome

  4. hesperidium


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a simple fleshy fruit developing from syncarpous inferior ovary containing axile placentation. The most prominent examples are orange and lemon.

  1. Samara

  2. Lomentum

  3. Regma

  4. Cremocarp


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ageotropic remains unaffected by gravity. Tertiary roots are not affected by gravity so they are called ageotropic.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflower, dandelions and cotton are examples of

  1. short day plants

  2. long day plants

  3. long long day plants

  4. day neutral plants


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Here the plants flower in all possible photoperiods, ranging from a few hours to 24 hours of uninterrupted light exposure. They are also called photo neutrals or intermediate plants. The most prominent examples are tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflower, dandelions and cotton.

The growth of pollen tube by the virtue of the style towards the embryo sac is an example of
