In dicotyledonous plants, the direct elongation of the radicle leads to the formation of __________.

  1. lateral root

  2. primary root

  3. shoot

  4. prop root

  5. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. In the dicotyledonous plants, the direct elongation of the radicals leads to the formation of primary root which grows inside the soil.

The leaf is a lateral, generally flattened structure borne on the stem, which develops at the ______________.

  1. stipule

  2. node

  3. petiole

  4. axillary bud

  5. leaf base


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. It develops at the node and bears a bud in its axil.

In the plant, Australian acacia, __________ expands, becomes green and synthesize food.

  1. bulb

  2. leaves

  3. petiole

  4. stem

  5. stipule


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. In Australian acacia, the leaves are small and short-lived. The petioles in these plants expand, become green and synthesize food.

Which of the following is not a modification of leaves?

  1. Bulb of garlic

  2. Tendril of peas

  3. Spines of cacti

  4. Bougainvillea thorns

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. Axillary buds of stems may also get modified into woody, straight and pointed thorns, like in Bougainvillea.

In a _____________leaf, a number of leaflets are present on the rachis.

  1. palmately compound

  2. pinnately compound

  3. simple

  4. both 1 and 2

  5. all 1, 2 and 3


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. In a pinnately compound leaf a number of leaflets are present on a common axis, the rachis, which represents the midrib of the leaf as in neem.

Which of the following is/are false regarding the term phyllotaxy? a) It is the arrangement of flowers and leaves on a stem. b) It is the arrangement of leaves on a stem. c) It can be of two types, opposite and alternate.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. a, b and c

  4. a and c

  5. b and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. It is the arrangement of leaves on a stem and is of three types; alternate, opposite and whorled.

Find the odd one out.

(a) Tracheids (b) Vessels (c) Xylem fibres (d) Xylem parenchyma (e) Sieve tubes

  1. (a)

  2. (b)

  3. (c)

  4. (d)

  5. (e)


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer as sieve tubes are an element of phloem. Rest all are elements of xylem.

________ are responsible for the formation of primary plant body and its growth.

  1. Apical meristem and intercalary meristem

  2. Simple tissues and complex tissues

  3. Meristematic and permanent tissues

  4. Parenchyma and collenchyma

  5. Sclerenchyma and collenchyma


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Meristematic tissues are found in those regions which need to grow continuously. Primary meristems appear early in the life of a plant and are responsible for the formation of primary plant body. Primary growth involves development of new parts of a plant and growth in the length of a particular part. Both apical and intercallary are primary meristems.

An arrangement in which xylem and phloem are arranged alternately is called

  1. conjoint

  2. radial

  3. open vascular bundle

  4. closed vascular bundle

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When xylem and phloem within a vascular bundle are arranged in an alternate manner on different radii, the arrangement is called radial such as in roots.

In grasses, the guard cells of stomata are of __________ shape.

  1. dumbbell

  2. bean

  3. cylindrical

  4. round

  5. none of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. In grasses, the guard cells are dumbbell shaped. The outer walls of guard cells (away from the stomatal pore) are thin and the inner walls (towards the stomatal pore) are highly thickened.

Which of the following statements is/are true regarding the function of veins in a leaf? a) It gives a beautiful look. b) It provides rigidity to the leaf blade. c) It gives the leaf its green colour. d) It helps in transport of food and water.

  1. a and d

  2. b and d

  3. c and d

  4. a and c

  5. a, b and d


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is correct. Leaf gets strength to stand firm with the help of veins and these veins work as channels to transport water, food and minerals.

Which of the following option does not show the function of a stem?

  1. Storing food

  2. Support and function

  3. Vegetative propagation

  4. Photosynthates

  5. None of these


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. All are the functions of a stem, so the correct answer is this.

Dermal tissues, ground tissues and vascular tissues are produced by

  1. intercalary meristem tissues

  2. apical meristem tissues

  3. parenchyma tissues

  4. collenchyma tissues

  5. sclerenchyma tissues


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer. Specific regions of apical meristem produce dermal tissues, ground tissues and vascular tissues.

Which of the following types of lateral meristems are involved in secondary growth?

  1. Epidermis and endodermis

  2. Peripheral and central

  3. Xylem and phloem

  4. Vascular cambium and cork cambium

  5. None of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Vascular cambium and cork cambiumĀ are involved in secondary growth.

Which of the following statements is false regarding epidermal tissue of plants?

  1. It is made of elongated compact cells.

  2. Cuticle is present in stem and root.

  3. Stoma is found in this layer.

  4. Its cells bear hair.

  5. It is the outermost layer.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, it is the correct answer as this is a false statement.
