Question 41. Cleistogamous flowers are
  1.    Self pollinated
  2.    Insect pollinated 
  3.    Wind pollinated
  4.    Bird pollinated
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Self pollinated
:
A
When some physical barrier is present between male and female reproductive parts of a flower which prevents self-pollination, it is called herkogamy. Some flowers, do not expose their sex organs. Such flowers are called cleistogamous and the phenomenon as cleistogamy. Here self-pollination takes place. Dichogamy refers to maturation of male and female sex organs at different times.
Question 42. Which one of the following may require pollinators, but is genetically similar to autogamy?
  1.    Dichogamy
  2.    Herkogamy
  3.    Geitonogamy
  4.    Xenogamy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Geitonogamy
:
C
Geitonogamy involves transfer of the pollen from one flower of a plant to the stigma of another flower of the same plant. As the pollen has to move from one flower to another flower, it requires a pollinating agent. Yet it is genetically similar to autogamy, as both the flowers of the plant, share the same genotype of the plant.
Question 43. Which one of the following is not a device to promote cross-pollination?
  1.    Cleistogamy
  2.    Herkogamy
  3.    Dichogamy
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cleistogamy
:
A
Herkogamy is the adaptation which facilitates cross pollination where the anthers and the stigma are placed at different positions in such a way that the anthers cannot reach the stigma of the flower. Dichogamy refers to maturation of male and female sex organs at different times.Some flowers, do not expose their sex organs. Such flowers are called cleistogamous and the phenomenon is called cleistogamy and here self-pollination takes place.
Question 44. Phototropic movement of shoot and geotropic movement of root are called growth movements in plants.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Bryophytes
  4.    Pteridophytes
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Auxin directed growth of the hypocotyl towards light to form the shoot and gibberellin directed growth of the epicotyl causing the radicle to move downwards towards the gravity are called growth movements in plants.
Question 45. Identify the labelled parts  in  the given figure of a dicot embryo.
Identify The Labelled Parts  In  The Given Figure Of A Dic...
  1.    (i)-Plumule, (ii)-Cotyledons, (iii)-Hypocotyl, (iv)-Radicle, (v)-Root cap
  2.    (i)-Plumule, (ii)-Cotyledons, (iii)-Radicle, (iv)-Hypocotyl, (v)-Root cap
  3.    (i)-Stem tip, (ii)-Cotyledons,(iii)-Hypocotyl, (iv)-Root cap, (v)-Root tip
  4.    (i)-Stem tip, (ii)-Cotyledons, (iii)-Root tip, (iv)-Hypocotyl, (v)-Root cap
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (i)-Plumule, (ii)-Cotyledons, (iii)-Hypocotyl, (iv)-Radicle, (v)-Root cap
:
A
A dicot embryo consists of two cotyledons and an embryonic axis. The region above the cotyledons is called epicotyl which terminates at the plumule. Hypocotyl is the region below the cotyledons and terminates at the radicle. The tip of the radicle is covered with a root cap.
Question 46. When pollen is transferred from anther of a flower to stigma of another flower of the same plant it is referred to as
  1.    allogamy
  2.    xenogamy
  3.    geitonogamy
  4.    autogamy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> geitonogamy
:
C
Geitonogamy is a type of pollination in which pollen grains of one flower are transformed to stigma of another flower belonging to either the same plant or genetically similar plant.
Question 47. Which among the following substances is exine of pollen grain made up of?
  1.    Pectin
  2.    Sporopollenin
  3.    Cellulose
  4.    Suberin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Sporopollenin
:
B
Exine of pollen grains is made up of a stable polymer termed sporopollenin.
Question 48. Which of the following pollination mechanism/s results in cross fertilisation?
  1.    Autogamy
  2.    Geitonogamy
  3.     Xenogamy
  4.    Geitonogamy and  Xenogamy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. ->  Xenogamy
:
C
In xenogamy, male and female gametes are derived from different parents. Hence, it results in cross fertilisation. Cross pollination enables the fusion of characters of two genetically distinct plants of the same species therefore it introduces genetic recombination and variations in plants. Autogamy and geitonogamy do not exhibit cross fertilisation.
Question 49. Essential organs in a typical flower are always protected by non-reproductive parts.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Cellulose
  4.    Suberin
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In a typicalflower, the reproductive parts or essential organs, i.e., the androecium and the gynoecium are protected by the non-essential or non-reproductive parts, i.e., the calyx and corolla. It is important to protect the reproductive structures from external environmental conditions as they are involved in gamete formation and other processes in sexual reproduction.
Question 50. In monocot embryo, radicle is enclosed in coleorhiza and plumule is enclosed in coleoptile.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    (i)-Stem tip, (ii)-Cotyledons,(iii)-Hypocotyl, (iv)-Root cap, (v)-Root tip
  4.    (i)-Stem tip, (ii)-Cotyledons, (iii)-Root tip, (iv)-Hypocotyl, (v)-Root cap
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In monocot embryo, the lower part of embryonal axis has the radicle and root cap enclosed in an undifferentiated sheath called coleorhiza. The shoot apex or plumule is enclosed in a hollow foliar structure called coleoptile.
