Self-incompatibility:

I. Is a device to prevent inbreeding

II. Provides a biochemical block to self-fertilization.

III. Ensures cross-fertilization.

IV. Is governed by pollen-pistil interaction

V. Is governed by series of multiple alleles.

VI. Prevents self pollen (from the same flower or other flowers of the same plant) from fertilizing the ovules inhibiting pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil.

(1) All are correct                              

(2) All are wrong

(3) Only I, II, III are correct               

(4) IV and V are wrong

Which of the following options is correct?
(1) Pollination gives the guarantee of the promotion of post-pollination events that lead to fertilization

(2) The events – “from pollen deposition on stigma until pollen tubes enter the ovule" are together referred to as pollen-pistil interaction

(3) Pollen-pistil interaction is a dynamic process involving pollen recognition followed by only promotion (not rejection) of the pollen

(4) Pistil has no ability to recognize the pollen, whether right or wrong type

(3) 2, 2 respectively                          

(4) 3, 3 respectively

Diagram given below shows stages in embryogenesis in a typical dicot (Capsella). Identify structures A to D respectively:

(a) Suspensor, Radicle, Plumule, Cotyledons
(b) Hypophysis, Radicle, Plumule, Cotyledons
(c) Suspensor, Plumule, Radicle, Cotyledons
(d) Suspensor, Radicule, Plumule, Hypocotyls

Go through the given diagram of a typical dicot embryo. In which of the following all the 3 parts labelled as A, B, C with their respective functions are correctly identified?

Which are the external conditions required for seed germination:
(1) Oxygen, carbon dioxide and suitable temperature

(2) Oxygen, light and suitable temperature

(3) Light, moisture and suitable temperature

(4) Oxygen, moisture and suitable temperature

Which of the following is not correct?
(1) As the seed matures, its water content is reduced and seeds become relatively dry(10-15% moisture by mass)

(2) The seed dormancy is the internal or innate inhibition of generation of normal or viable seeds

(3) Embryo in dormant seed shows higher rate of general metabolic rate

(4) Because of dormancy seeds remain viable for longer period and can be stored
