  3. protandry

  4. protogyny

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Here anthers matures before stigma.

Morphologically, the white edible mass in maize is

  1. seed coat

  2. pericarp

  3. endosperm

  4. seed

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Morphologically, the white edible mass is endosperm in maize.

One cell is found on either side of the egg cell in an embryo sac. These are known as

  1. antipodals

  2. synergids

  3. secondary cells

  4. None of these

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

These are found one on either side of the egg in the egg apparatus. They guide the way to sperms.

In which plants are fruits formed?

  1. Cycas

  2. Pinus

  3. Brassica

  4. Funaria

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fruit formed is siliqua in brassica or mustard (angiosperm).

The tapetal cells are

  1. uninucleate

  2. anucleate

  3. multinucletae

  4. dikaryotic

  5. -


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Tapetal cells are multinucleate as these contain multiple nuclei in them.

Secondary nucleus formed by the fusion of 2 polar nuclei is also known as

  1. definitive nucleus

  2. coenocyte

  3. tube nucleus

  4. vegetative nucleus

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Secondary nucleus is also called definitive nucleus.

Plumule sheath is also called

  1. scutellum

  2. coleoptile

  3. endosperm

  4. None of these

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coleoptile is the pointed protective sheath covering the emerging shoot in monocotyledons such as grass. It is also called plumule sheath.

Plerome gives rise to

  1. epidermis

  2. stele

  3. cortex

  4. hypodermis

  5. -


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plerome gives rise to stele and endodermis of a plant.

In which plant does anomalous secondary growth occur?

  1. Dracena

  2. Sunflower

  3. Pinus

  4. Mango

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The term anomalous growth reflects a growth condition which is not commonly seen and which is present in a limited number of families or genera, e.g. dracena. Their later growth pattern is termed as diffuse secondary growth and consists mostly of a proliferation of ground parenchyma cells and additional vascular bundles near the periphery.

Sieve tubes are found in

  1. tracheids

  2. wood fibres

  3. xylem

  4. phloem

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sieve tubes are the specialised cells of phloem.

The branch of Botany which deals with study of flowers is called

  1. Anthology

  2. Spermology

  3. Morphology

  4. Embryology

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the study of flowers.

Which chemical can be utilised to change a plant into homozygous diploid plant?

  1. DDT

  2. Acetic acid

  3. LSD

  4. Colchicine

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Colchicine can change a plant to homozygous diploid form.

Albuminous seeds mainly contain

  1. endosperm

  2. perisperm

  3. cotyledons

  4. coleoptile

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If the seed has a large amount of endosperm as a result of its larger synthesis or less utilisation until the seed germinates, it is called endospermic or albuminous seed.

Who gave Tunica Corpus Theory?

  1. Hofmeister

  2. Nageli

  3. Strasburger

  4. Schmidt

  5. -


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Schmidt in 1924 proposed this theory for the organisation of shoot apex. According to this theory, the shoot apex can be differentiated into two regions of unlike structure and appearance, a central core, the corpus with large cells dividing irregularly to result in volume growth. It is surrounded by an outer enveloping layer called the tunica.

Pollination by slugs and snails is called

  1. malacophily

  2. ornithiphily

  3. hydrophily

  4. anemophily

  5. -


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is the right answer because the pollination by slugs and snail is malacophily.
