The correct description of the structure shown in the figure would be:
| 1. | Anatropous ovule; 1 – Nucellus; 2 – Chalaza; 3 – Raphe; 4 – Funiculus |
| 2. | Orthotropous ovule; 1 – Nucellus; 2 – Micropyle; 3 – Raphe; 4 – Funiculus |
| 3. | Anatropous ovule; 1 – Nucellus; 2 – Chalaza; 3 – Funiculus; 4 – Raphe |
| 4. | Anatropous ovule; 1 – Nucellus; 2 – Micropyle; 3 – Raphe; 4 – Funiculus |
Transfer of pollens from the anther to the stigma of the same flower is called:
| 1. | Autogamy | 2. | Geitonogamy |
| 3. | Xenogamy | 4. | Cleistogamy |
The body of the ovule fuses with the funicle in the region called:
| 1. | Chalaza |
| 2. | Micropyle |
| 3. | Hilum |
| 4. | Nucellus |
In over 60 % of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at:
| 1. | 2-celled stage | 2. | 3-celled stage |
| 3. | 4-celled stage | 4. | 1-celled stage |
The outer hard layer of the pollen wall is made up of:
| 1. | Callose, which is easily digested by enzymes |
| 2. | Sporopollenin, which is resistant to all enzymes |
| 3. | Hemicellulose, which is difficult to digest by enzymes |
| 4. | Calcium pectate, which is easily digested by enzymes |
Syngamy in angiosperms results in the formation of:
| 1. | A haploid cell | 2. | A diploid cell |
| 3. | A triploid cell | 4. | A polyploid cell |
Whether a pollen grain will be able to germinate on a stigma is primarily decided by:
| 1. | The stage at which the pollen is shed |
| 2. | Recognition by the stigma |
| 3. | Maturity of the egg cell in the embryosac |
| 4. | Environmental conditions |
Yucca plant is pollinated by:
| 1. | Gecko lizard | 2. | Honey bees |
| 3. | Pronuba moth | 4. | Wind |
The only type of pollination which during pollination brings a genetically different type of pollen grains to the stigma is:
| 1. | Chasmogamy | 2. | Cleistogamy |
| 3. | Geitonogamy | 4. | Xenogamy |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
| Cell | Ploidy | |
| 1. | Cells of nucellus | Diploid |
| 2. | Megaspore mother cell | Haploid |
| 3. | Functional megaspore | Haploid |
| 4. | Cells of female gametophyte | haploid |
