The optimum temperature range for proper growth in most plants is:
1. | \(0^\circ C - 100^\circ C\) | 2. | \(15^\circ C - 20^\circ C\) |
3. | \(28^\circ C - 30^\circ C\) | 4. | \(45^\circ C\) | Greater than
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 |
Plasticity in plant growth means that
1. Plant roots are extensible
2. Plant growth is dependent on the environment
3. Stems can extend
4. None of the above
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 |
Development is a term that includes all changes that a plant goes through during its life cycle:
1. | till germination of the seed |
2. | during its vegetative growth |
3. | from germination till flowering |
4. | from germination to senescence |
Difference in shapes of leaves produced in air and those produced in water represents heterophyllous development due to environment in:
1. | Cotton | 2. | Coriander |
3. | Larkspur | 4. | Butter cup |
Plants follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to form different kinds of structures. This ability is called:
1. | Plasticity | 2. | Norm of the reaction |
3. | Development noise | 4. | Acclimatisation |
