Adventive embryony in citrus is due to:
1. | Nucellus | 2. | Integuments |
3. | Zygotic embryo | 4. | Fertilized egg |
The term used for transfer of pollen grains from anthers of one plant to stigma of a different plant which during pollination, brings genetically different types of pollen grains to stigma, is:
1. | Chasmogamy | 2. | Cleistogamy |
3. | Xenogamy | 4. | Geitonogamy |
A typical angiosperm embryo sac at maturity is:
1. 7-nucleate and 7-celled
2. 8-nucleate and 8-celled
3. 8-nucleate and 7-celled
4. 7-nucleate and 8-celled
In Angiosperms, pollen tubes liberate their male gametes into the:
1. Central cell
2. Antipodal cells
3. Egg cell
4. Synergids
Endosperm is formed during double fertilization by:
1. Two polar nuclei & one male gamete
2. One polar nucleus & one male gamete
3. Ovum and male gamete
4. Two polar nuclei & two male gametes
In angiosperms, functional megaspore develops into:
1. Pollen sac
2. Embryo sac
3. Ovule
4. Endosperm
What is common between vegetative reproduction and Apomixis?
1. Both produce progeny identical to the parent
2. Both are applicable to only dicot plants
3. Both bypass the flowering phase
4. Both occur round the year
Which one of the following statements is wrong?
1. | Vegetative cell is larger than generative cell |
2. | Pollen grains in some plants remain viable for months |
3. | Intine is made up of cellulose and pectin |
4. | When pollen is shed at a two-celled stage, double fertilization does not take place |
What is the function of germ pores?
1. Absorption of water for seed germination
2. Initiation of pollen tube
3. Release of male gametes
4. The emergence of radicle
1. | Polyembryony will be seen and each seed will produce many plantlets |
2. | Seeds of hybrid plants will show longer dormancy |
3. | Farmers can keep on using the seeds produced by the hybrids to raise new crop year after year |
4. | There will be segregation of the desired characters only in the progeny |
