The plants whose seeds have only one cotyledon are called

  1. Monocots

  2. Dicots

  3. Biennials

  4. Annuals


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Monocots, or monocotyledons, are a class of the flowering plants (angiosperms), containing a single cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, within the seed. 
So, the answer is A.

Which of the following seed used as pulse?

  1. Mustard

  2. Sesame

  3. Masoor

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Masoor also is known as red lenticel is a pulse that comes under family Fabaceae of the order Fabales and grown for its lens shaped seeds.

So, the correct option is 'Masoor'.

The chemical used for treating the dormancy of seed is?

  1. TTC

  2. G A

  3. I B A

  4. Methyl red


Correct Option: A

In wheat and rice _________________.

  1. Per carp is fused with seed coat

  2. Per sperm is fused with seed coat

  3. Seed coat and per carp are separate

  4. Fruits are multisided


Correct Option: A

Sprouting time of seeds may vary according to 

  1. Temperature

  2. Humidity of the weather

  3. Air force

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Sprouting time of seeds may vary according to the temperature and humidity of the weather. Some seeds are hard to germinate when the weather is hot. Sometimes the temperature is just too high for that seed, sometimes the soil dries out too fast. Some varieties of some crops have better germination at high temperatures than others.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.

The class of seeds which must maintain a relatively high moisture content in order to remain viable are known as ______________.

  1. Orthodox seeds

  2. Recalcitrant seeds

  3. Labyrinth seeds

  4. Ex-albumirious seeds


Correct Option: A

A red or orange dye used in dyeing silks is obtained from the pulp that surrounds the seeds of _________________.

  1. semecarpus anacardiMm

  2. Emblica officinalis

  3. Bira orellana

  4. Aegle marmelos


Correct Option: A

Glycolate is converted into glyoxylate in the ___________.

  1. Glyoxomes

  2. Microtubules

  3. Peroximoses

  4. Golgi bodies


Correct Option: A

Consider the following statements regarding the introduction of plant materials and seeds.
a. Plant materials and seeds are always introduced from developed countries into developing/less developed countries.
b. The import of living plant materials must be accompanied by a certificate of health to prevent introduction of new disease and insect pests.
c. The superior varieties may be used in hybridization programmes.
Of these statements.

  1. $1, 2$ and $3$ are correct

  2. $1$ and $2$ are correct

  3. $2$ and $3$ are correct

  4. $1$ and $3$ are correct


Correct Option: A

Consider the following statements.
a. The seeds of Zea mays would germinate immediately after falling from the plant if favourable conditions of moisture, temperature and aeration are available.
b. Seed-coat dormancy is exhibited by Cassia and Gossypium
Which of the statements given is/are correct?

  1. $1$ only

  2. $2$ only

  3. Both $1$ and $2$

  4. Neither $1$ nor $2$


Correct Option: A

How many meiotic divisions are required to produce 200 seeds?

  1. 50

  2. 100

  3. 200

  4. 250


Correct Option: A

Occasionally, in some seeds such as ______(A) ___, remnants of nucellus are also persistent.This residual, persistent nucellus is the __(B)__________.

  1. (A) Castor and beet (B) Endopserm

  2. (A) Castor and beet (B) Carucele

  3. (A) Maize and rice (B) Aleurone layer

  4. (A) Black pepper and beet (B) Perisperm


Correct Option: A

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Seedlings grown for a few days in the dark often have lesser fresh weight and greater dry weight than those kept in light for a comparable period.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For the development of any seedling or plants, both light and dark phases are required for proper growth. The seedlings that are growing requires light as the carbon sources in them and the other nutrients are present in its complete amount but when they are placed in the darkness they are unable to perform certain functions so there is less production of nutrients resulting in lower fresh weight. Thus, the light phase is the phase on which growth of the plant is dependent upon. 

So, the correct statement is 'False'. 

State whether the following statements are true or false.
A dry pea seed will have more dry weight than a germinated one.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The dry seeds of the pea have more dry weight as all the moisture in the seeds got absorbed and becomes hard due to the loss of water. In the germinated seed, more water is present so its fresh weight will be higher than the dry seed. Fresh weight is the weight of the living part of the plant while dry weight is the weight of the dry plant part.

So, the correct statement is 'True'. 

Who of the following is associated with the description of life-forms in plants communities?

  1. Tansley
