  1. root cap and side branches

  2. side branches

  3. root cap

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Most of the hydrophytes lack true roots due to the availability of plenty of water.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Ecology is the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.

Which of the following features does not characterise plants?

  1. Large vacuoles

  2. Presence of centrioles

  3. Presence of plastids

  4. Presence of cell wall


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Centrioles are present in the cells of most eukaryotes, e.g. those of animals. However, they are absent from conifers (pinophyta) and flowering plants (angiosperms).

  3. Zone of maturation

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Apical zone consists of meristamatic tissue.

Roots in plants growing vertical to longer depth is

  1. taproot

  2. adventitious root

  3. primary taproot

  4. prop root


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In a plant with a taproot system, the primary taproot is the largest, most central and most dominant root. 

Unicellular hair on root occur in

  1. certain area of root

  2. certain environments

  3. certain span of life

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Unicellular hair on root occur in the root hair zone.

Pogostemon bear roots are called

  1. fibrous

  2. foliar

  3. fusiform

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Some foliar buds can produce foliar roots, e.g. Bryophyllum, Begonia and Pogostemon.

Root pocket is found in

  1. duckweed and water hyacinth

  2. duckweed and mangifera

  3. water hyacinth and cassia

  4. mangifera and cassia


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The root cap is absent in some parasitic plants and some aquatic plants, in which a sac-like structure called the root pocket may form instead. These are present in duckweed and water hyacinth.

Partial root parasites are

  1. rufflesia and vanda

  2. vandal and striga

  3. rafflesia and striga

  4. rafflesia and vanda


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Rafflesia and striga are partial root parasites.

Haustoria in parasitic plants are

  1. absorptive organ

  2. sucking organ

  3. assimilative organ

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Haustoria is a slender projection from the root of a parasitic plant, such as a dodder, or from the hyphae of a parasitic fungus, enabling the parasite to penetrate the tissues of its host and absorb nutrients from it.

Mustlatoe is a

  1. partial stem parasite

  2. total stem parasite

  3. partial root parasite

  4. total root parasite


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Mustlatoe is a partial stem parasite.

The association of fungus with higher plants is called

  1. mycorrhinza

  2. lichen

  3. symbionts

  4. parasites


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The association of fungus with higher plants is called mycorrhinza.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bulbils are essential for reproduction in Oxalis.

  1. vertically

  2. horizontally

  3. at random

  4. None of the above

Endogenous word refers to growth of branches from

  1. pericycle

  2. cortical cells

  3. epidermal cells

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A

  4. opuntia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In yucca, each leaf ends in a very sharp pointed spine which is directed obliquely outward.

Tendrils pea plants are homologous with

  1. leaf buds

  2. leaf petiole

  3. leaflets

  4. stem


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Tendrils pea plants are homologous with leaflets.

Leaves of which of the following two plants are similar in their behavior?

  1. Begonia and Bryophyllum

  2. Begonia and Banyan

  3. Bryophyllum and Banyan

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Vegetative propagation through leaves takes place in Bryophyllum and Begonia.

Rhizome remains dormant during unfavourable conditions but develops new shoots which grow form

  1. apical bud

  2. adventitious bud

  3. terminal bud

  4. Both (1) and (2)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Rhizome remains dormant during unfavourable conditions but develops new shoots which grow form either apical or terminal bud.

When there are swellings in the root at frequent intervals, it is said

  1. nodulose root

  2. fasciculated root

  3. moniliform root

  4. annulated root

Explanation:

Moniliform or beaded roots are those roots which are swollen at frequent intervals.

Rhizophora develops respiratory roots, which develop from

  1. aerial roots

  2. underground roots

  3. trunk

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Rhizophora develops respiratory roots, which develop from underground roots. These roots are called pneumatophores. 

The buds developed from abnormal position are called

  1. accessory buds

  2. auxillary buds
