Question 91.


What is the mode of reproduction in potatoes, ginger and turmeric?


  1.     Pollination
  2.     Fertilization
  3.     Sporulation
  4.     Vegetative propagation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Vegetative propagation
:
D

The mode of reproduction in potatoes, ginger and turmeric is vegetative propagation from the nodes. Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in which new plants are produced from the vegetative parts like stems, roots and leaves.


Question 92.


The female gamete is also known as the __.


  1.     pollen grain
  2.     pistil
  3.     egg
  4.     ovary
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> egg
:
C
The female gamete formed in an ovule is also known as the egg. The two cells, egg and sperm, fuse together during fertilisation. This resulting cell formed after fertilisation is called zygote.
Question 93.


The seed contains a/an __ enclosed within a protective coat.


  1.     egg
  2.     embryo
  3.     tree
  4.     ovule
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> embryo
:
B
The seed contains an embryo enclosed within a protective coat. Seeds are developed from ovules after fertlisation. The zygote within the ovule develops into an embryo. When the seeds germinate, these embryos grow out into new plantlets. 
Question 94.


Some seeds are thrown away or scattered when the fruit bursts with a sudden jerk.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Some plants like castor have fruits that burst with sudden jerks and scatter the seeds. Hence the statement is correct. This is, in fact, a form of seed dispersal in such plants.


Question 95.


Which of these are components of a pistil?


I: Style


II: Anther


III: Stigma


IV: Ovary


  1.     I and III
  2.     I, II, III and IV
  3.     II and IV
  4.     I, III and IV
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> I, III and IV
:
D

The pistil is the female reproductive part of a flower. It consists of the stigma, style, and ovary. Anther is the part of a stamen (male organ) that contains the pollen. Hence I, III and IV are components of a pistil.


Question 96.


Plants produced by vegetative propagation:


  1.     take less time to grow
  2.     are identical to their parents
  3.     take less time to grow and are identical to their parents
  4.     take large amount of time to grow
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> take less time to grow and are identical to their parents
:
C

Plants produced by vegetative propagation are exact copies of their parent. This is a type of asexual reproduction. Such plants also take less time to grow, and mature, that is, they bear fruits faster than those produced by sexual reproduction.


Question 97.


Budding is a mode of reproduction observed in _________ .


  1.     mango trees
  2.     algae
  3.     yeast
  4.     mushroom
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> yeast
:
C

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. The new plant develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The offspring remains attached to the parent plant as it grows until it is mature. The offsprings are identical to the parent plant. Yeast reproduces with the help of this method.


Question 98.


What does a pollen grain contain?


  1.     Female gametes
  2.     Male gametes
  3.     Zygotes
  4.     Seeds
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Male gametes
:
B

Pollen grains contain male gametes and are produced by anther. The male gamete fuses with the female gamete to produce zygote and eventually a new seed, during a process known as fertilization.


Question 99.


Which of the following is true about spores?


I: They are asexual reproductive bodies


II: They are sexual reproductive bodies


III: They are the mode of reproduction in some fungi


IV: They are the mode of reproduction in some plants


  1.     I and III
  2.     I and IV
  3.     II and III
  4.     I, III  and IV
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> I, III  and IV
:
D

Spore formation is a type of asexual reproduction. A spore is a reproductive body found in bacteria, fungi, various plants and some protozoans, that can develop into a new individual. Hence statement I, III  and IV are correct.


Question 100.


Which of the following helps in pollination?


  1.     Insects
  2.     Wind
  3.     Water
  4.     Sunlight
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Sunlight
:
A, B, and C

Pollination is defined as the act of transferring pollen grains from the male part, specifically the anther of a flower to the female part, specifically the stigma. Agents of pollination include insects, wind and water.
