Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The fertilization of the egg occurs in the ovary.

  1. Vallisneria

  2. Kigelia

  3. Salvia

  4. Maize

  5. Coccinia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Which of the following is a dioecious plant?

  1. Castor bean

  2. Maize

  3. Date palm

  4. Cucumber

  5. Rice


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Date palm is a dioecious plant.

Which of the following parts of the Maize plant grows into a 'GRAIN'?

  1. Fruit and seed

  2. Hilum

  3. Seed

  4. Embryo

  5. Fruit


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fruit and seed of the maize plant grows into a 'GRAIN'.

Which of the following is the part of the embryo that lies between the cotyledons and the embryonic root (Radicle)?

  1. Epicotyl

  2. Hypocotyl

  3. Plumule

  4. Coleorhiza

  5. Endosperm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The part of the embryo between the cotyledons and the embryonic root (Radicle) is called Hypocotyl.

Which of the following techniques is widely used for propagating forest trees of economic importance?

  1. Grafting

  2. Layering

  3. Stem cuttings

  4. Root cuttings

  5. Micro-propagation


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Micro-propagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern plant tissue culture methods. It is being used widely for propagating forest trees of economic importance.

What kind of offsprings are produced by the vegetative propagation?

  1. Inferior to the offspring produced by sexual reproduction

  2. Triploid

  3. Haploid

  4. Genetically identical

  5. Superior to the offspring produced by sexual reproduction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The offspring produced by the vegetative propagation are genetically identical.

Which of the following features is correct about the mega-spore mother cell and micro-spore mother cell?

  1. Both divide meiotically

  2. Both divide mitotically

  3. Both produce pollen grains

  4. Both produce embryo sacs

  5. Produce pollen grains and embryo sacs respectively


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The mega-spore mother cell and micro-spore mother cell, both divide meiotically.

Perisperm is the remaining part of _________.

  1. endosperm

  2. female gametophyte

  3. integument

  4. male gametophyte

  5. nucellus


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The remaining part of nucellus is called perisperm.

Which of the following phenomenon occurs in the life cycle of plants?

  1. Gametes become a gametophyte

  2. Spores become a sporophyte

  3. Both sporophytes and gametophytes produce spores

  4. Only a sporophyte produces spores

  5. Only a gametophyte produces spores


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In plants only a sporophyte produces spores.

The secondary nucleus of angiosperm after fertilization is of which of the following types?

  1. x

  2. 2x

  3. 3x

  4. 4x

  5. 5x


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The secondary nucleus of angiosperm after fertilization is 3x. The second sperm cell fuses with both central cell nuclei, producing a triploid (3x) cell. As the zygote develops into an embryo, the triploid cell develops into the endosperm, which serves as the embryo's food supply.

In double fertilization, the male gamete fuses with the __________.

  1. egg cell

  2. egg cell and another male gamete with two polar nuclei

  3. antipodals

  4. two polar nuclei or their fusion product

  5. another male gamete with two polar nuclei


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In double fertilization, the male gamete fuses with the egg cell and another male gamete with two polar nuclei.

In angiosperms, what does the embryo sac represent?

  1. male gametophyte

  2. future fruit

  3. female gametophyte

  4. young sporophyte

  5. young root


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In angiosperms, the embryo sac represents female gametophyte.

The ovule can be compared to which of the following structure?

  1. microsporangium

  2. megasporophyll

  3. microsporophyll

  4. antipodals

  5. megasporangium


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

The ovule can be compared to megasporangium.

After fertilization, fruit is derived from which of the following structures?

  1. Endosperm

  2. Ovary

  3. Ovule

  4. Microsporophyll

  5. Megasporophyll


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

After fertilization, fruit is derived from ovary.
