What type of pollination takes place in Vallisneria?
1. | Pollination occurs in submerged conditions by water. |
2. | Flowers emerge above the surface of water and pollination occurs by insects. |
3. | Flowers emerge above the water surface and pollen is carried by the wind. |
4. | Male flowers are carried by water currents to female flowers at the surface of the water. |

3. | C | 4. | D |
Which one of the following statements regarding post-fertilization development in flowering plants is incorrect?
1. | Ovules develop into an embryo sac |
2. | Ovary develops into fruit |
3. | Zygote develops into an embryo |
4. | Central cell develops into endosperm |
What is the fate of the male gametes discharged in the synergid?
1. | One fuses with the egg and the other fuses with central cell nuclei |
2. | One fuses with the egg and the other(s) degenerate(s) in the synergid |
3. | All fuse with the egg |
4. | One fuses with the egg and the other(s) fuse(s) with a synergid nucleus |
In some plants, the female gamete develops into an embryo without fertilization. This phenomenon is known as:
1. | Parthenogenesis | 2. | Autogamy |
3. | Parthenocarpy | 4. | Syngamy |
