The majority of water plants like water hyacinth and water lily are pollinated by:
1. | Water | 2. | Wind |
3. | Insects | 4. | Both 2 and 3 |
Majority of the flowering plants produce:
1. | Female flowers | 2. | Male flowers |
3. | Hermaphroditic flowers | 4. | Neutral flowers |
In artificial hybridization experiments, if the female plant produces unisexual flowers, emasculation:
1. | Must be done before maturity. |
2. | Must be done after maturity. |
3. | Must be done at maturity. |
4. | Is not needed. |
Consider the following statements regarding floral primordium:
I: | It is formed at the shoot apical meristem |
II: | The development of flowers is dependent on genetics, PGR, and environmental conditions. |
Of the two statements:
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect. |
The germ pore in the pollen wall:
1. | is an aperture in the pollen intine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
2. | is the name of the nucleus of the microspore mother cell. |
3. | is formed where sporopollenin is located in the exine. |
4. | is an aperture in the pollen exine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
At what temperature pollens can be stored for years in liquid nitrogen?
1. | 0°C | 2. | -100°C |
3. | -196°C | 4. | 4°C |
In angiosperms, the mature female gametophyte is represented by:
1. | Nucellus | 2. | Megaspore |
3. | MMC | 4. | Embryosac |
A typical angiosperm embryosac, at maturity, is:
1. | 8 celled and 8 nucleate | 2. | 8 celled and 7 nucleate |
3. | 7 celled and 8 nucleate | 4. | 7 celled and 7 nucleate |
Chasmocleistogamy [Amphicarpy] is not seen in:
1. | Viola [Common pansy] | 2. | Oxalis |
3. | Pisum sativum | 4. | Commelina |
The dominating pollinating agent of flowering plants amongst animals are:
1. | Arboreal mammals | 2. | Insects |
3. | Birds | 4. | Reptiles |
