Q. No.The shape of the growth curve characteristic of a living organism growing in natural environment is:
1.
Linear
2.
Sigmoid
3.
Hyperbola
4.
Bell shaped
Plant growth and further development is intimately linked to water status of the plant because:
| A. | Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth |
| B. | It provides medium for enzymatic activity |
| 1. | Both A and B are correct |
| 2. | Only A is correct |
| 3. | Only B is correct |
| 4. | Both A and B are incorrect |
To differentiate into a tracheary element, a cell would:
| 1. | Gain protoplasm |
| 2. | Become multinucleate |
| 3. | Assimilate lot of collagen and elastin |
| 4. | Develop lignocellulosic secondary cell wall |
Formation of interfascicular cambium and cork cambium is possible most importantly because of:
| 1. | Differentiation | 2. | Dedifferentiation |
| 3. | Redifferentiation | 4. | Reverse differentiation |
Plants follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to form different kinds of structures. This ability is called:
| 1. Efficiency index | 2. Plasticity |
| 3. Norm of reaction | 4. Developmental noise |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
| PGR | Chemical nature | |
| 1. | Auxins | Indole compounds |
| 2. | Cytokinin | Pyrimidine derivatives |
| 3. | ABA | Carotenoid derivative |
| 4. | Gibberellic acid | Terpenes |
Identify the plant growth regulator that, though is largely an inhibitor but, can be placed in both plant growth promoter and plant growth inhibitor groups?
| 1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins |
| 3. | Ethylene | 4. | Abscisic acid |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
| Scientist | PGR discovery | |
| 1. | Cousins | Ethylene |
| 2. | Kurosawa | Gibberellin |
| 3. | Skoog and Miller | ABA |
| 4. | F. W. Went | Auxin |
Auxin does not:
| 1. | Help to initiate rooting in stem cuttings |
| 2. | Promote female flowers in cucumbers |
| 3. | Prevent fruit and leaf drop in early stages |
| 4. | Promote abscission of older mature leaves and fruits |
Cytokinins do not help in:
| 1. | Production of new leaves |
| 2. | Lateral shoot growth |
| 3. | Adventitious shoot formation |
| 4. | Promotion of apical dominance |
