Epidermis is originated from

  1. pro cambium

  2. ground meristem

  3. protoderm

  4. apical meristem


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Protoderm gives rise to epidermis in developing organs.

Where are the intercalary meristem present in pinus?

  1. At the base of internode

  2. At the base of leaf

  3. At the base of node

  4. At the base of flower


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Intercalary meristems are present at the base of leaf in pinus.

Apical cell theory is applicable to

  1. bryophytes

  2. pteridophytes

  3. angiosperms

  4. Both (1) and (2)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Apical cell theory is applicable to both bryophytes and pteridophytes.

Tunica and corpus are zones of

  1. lateral meristem

  2. intercalary meristem

  3. apical meristem

  4. ground meristem


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Tunica and corpus are the zones of apical meristem.

The inner layer of tunica gives rise to

  1. vascular bundle

  2. leaf primordia

  3. endodermis

  4. epidermis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The cells of inner layer of tunica give rise to leaf primordia.

According to the histogen theory, the central core of the plant is called

  1. dermatogen

  2. periblem

  3. plerome

  4. calyptrogen


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The central core of the plant is called plerome. It is the central core of a primary meristem of a plant or a plant part that according to the histogen theory, gives rise to the stele.

Which cells of a plant have less DNA as compared to other cells?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Quiescent centre

  3. Cork cells

  4. Pith


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The inactive cells of quiescent centre have less DNA as in this zone, the cells divide at very slow rate.

Which of the following is/are an/the example(s) of secondary meristem? Choose the best answer.

  1. Inter-fascicular cambium

  2. Cambium of root

  3. Cork cambium

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Inter-fascicular cambium, cambium of root and cork cambium are all secondary meristems.

According to the histogen theory, the periblem gives rise to

  1. cortex

  2. epidermis

  3. pith

  4. vascular cylinder


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

According to the histogen theory, the periblem gives rise to cortex.

What kind of structure is arenchyma?

  1. Collenchyma

  2. Sclerenchyma

  3. Parenchyma

  4. Space between parenchyma


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In aquatic plants, the intracellular spaces between the parenchymatous cells are very large and this space is called arenchyma. Arenchyma store air and help the organs float in water.

What is prosenchyma?

  1. Cutinised parenchyma

  2. Fibre-like elongated parenchyma

  3. Chlorophyll-filled parenchyma

  4. Air-filled parenchymal gaps


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Prosenchyma are fibre-like elongated parenchyma. It provides rigidity and strength to the plant.

What is the starch containing layer in a dicot stem called?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Endodermis

  3. Hypodermis

  4. Cortex


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Starch-containing cell layer in dicots is called endodermis.

Which of the following tissues, helps to prevent transpiration from a plant surface?

  1. Stomata

  2. Trichomes

  3. Guard cells

  4. Lenticels


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Trichomes are hairs which reduce excessive water loss, i.e. transpiration.

Sclereid is best defined as

  1. a soft spongy substance in the centre of a stem of many plants and trees

  2. a reduced form of sclerenchyma cells with highly thickened lignified walls

  3. a mechanical supportive ground tissue in plant, consisting of cells having thick and often mineralised walls

  4. a type of cell associated with phloem


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A reduced form of sclerenchyma cells with highly thickened lignified walls is called sclereid.

Which cells are responsible for grittiness of a pear?

  1. Tracheids

  2. Sclereids

  3. Pits

  4. Collenchyma


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sclereids are responsible for grittiness of a pear. Sclereids are extremely thick-walled stone cells.
