The pollination in plants in which anthers release pollen internally happens through

  1. honeybees

  2. bumblebees

  3. moths

  4. flies


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bumblebees sonicate and pollinate plants in which anthers release pollen internally by buzz pollination.

What special adaptation is seen in flowers pollinated by moths?

  1. They have large red or orange petals and are scentless.

  2. They have white petals and a strong scent.

  3. They have large coloured petals and a strong scent.

  4. They are small and inconspicuously green in colour.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Moth-pollinated flowers tend to be white, night-opening, large and showy with tubular corollas and a strong, sweet scent produced in the evening, night or early morning.

What is pollination by wind called?

  1. Entomophily

  2. Anemophily

  3. Hydrophily

  4. Zoophily


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Anemophily is pollination by wind.

Which animals are involved in psychophily?

  1. Orchid bees

  2. Moths

  3. Butterflies

  4. Wasps


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pollination by butterflies is known as psychophily.

Which animals pollinate large and showy, pink or lavender-coloured, frequently having a landing area and usually scented flowers?

  1. Bats

  2. Hummingbirds

  3. Butterflies

  4. Beetles


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Butterfly-pollinated flowers tend to be large and showy, pink or lavender in colour, frequently having a landing area and usually scented.

What is the self-pollination that occurs before a flower opens called?

  1. Homogamy

  2. Cleistogamy

  3. Geitonogamy

  4. Allogamy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In cleistogamy, self-pollination occurs before a flower opens.

In which kind of fertilisation does the entry of pollen tube into ovule occur through micropyle?

  1. Siphonogamy

  2. Mesogamy

  3. Porogamy

  4. Homogamy


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

If the pollen tube enters the ovule through micropyle, it is called porogamy.

Which of the following pairs is incorrect?

  1. Cantharophily - Beetle

  2. Chiropterophily - Bats

  3. Ornithophily - Birds

  4. Sapromyophily - Moths


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sapromyophily is pollination by flies which like dung, dead and decaying odour.

The type of fecundation observed in casuarina sps is

  1. porogamy

  2. chalazogamy

  3. mesogamy

  4. siphonogamy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Chalazogamy is a process of fecundation in which the pollen tube penetrates into the embryo sac through the tissue of the chalaza.

Which event leads to endospore formation?

  1. Fusion of egg cell with sperm

  2. Fusion of synergids with sperm

  3. Fusion of polar nuclei with sperm

  4. Fusion of antipodal cells with sperm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fusion of polar nuclei with sperm leads to endospore formation.

The germ tube is made up of

  1. exine

  2. intine

  3. style

  4. funicle


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Germ tube is formed of intine layer.

Which of the following is correct about cross-pollination?

  1. There are less chances of failure of pollination.

  2. A small number of pollen grains are required for pollination.

  3. A large number of seeds are formed by this method.

  4. The purity of race is maintained.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A large number of seeds are formed by cross-pollination.

Which structures fuse with sperms in double fertilisation?

  1. Egg cells

  2. Polar nuclei

  3. Egg cells and polar nuclei

  4. Antipodal cells


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fusion of egg cell and polar nuclei with two distinct sperms is called double fertilisation.

What is ploidy of endosperm tissue?

  1. Haploid

  2. Diploid

  3. Triploid

  4. Polyploid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Endosperm tissue is triploid as it is formed by fusion of polar nuclei (2n) and male gamete (n).

The cell which acts as a feeding organ of the embryo during its development is called

  1. apical cell

  2. suspensor cell

  3. hypophysis cell

  4. embryonal cell


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Suspensor cell acts as a feeding organ of the embryo during its development.
