REPRODUCTION IN ORGANISMS MCQs

Total Questions : 118 | Page 11 of 12 pages
Question 101.


Seeds develop from _______ after fertilization occurs.


  1.     ovary
  2.     ovule
  3.     stigma
  4.     style
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ovule
:
B

Ovules is the part of flower that develops into seed after fertilization. Ovule is located inside the ovary and it consists of the female gamete. Eventually, the ovary develops into the fruit which contains the seeds.


Question 102.


Which of the following modes of reproduction is possible in plants?


  1.     Only asexual
  2.     Only sexual
  3.     Both asexual and sexual
  4.     Only vegetative propagation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Both asexual and sexual
:
C

Plant reproduction can be accomplished by sexual or asexual ways. In sexual reproduction, offspring are formed by the fusion of gametes, which results in offspring, which are genetically different from the parents. In asexual reproduction, one parent is required to produce offspring and the offspring is identical to the parent. Vegetative reproduction is a mode of asexual reproduction.


Question 103.


The process of fusion of female and male gametes to form a zygote is known as ________ .


  1.     fruit formation
  2.     dispersal
  3.     pollination
  4.     fertilisation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:
D
Fertilisation is the process in which fusion of female and male gametes occurs to form a zygote. Fruits and seeds develop only after fertilisation.
Question 104.


Give two examples of plants with winged seeds. [1 MARK]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:
Each example: 0.5 Mark
 
Drumsticks and maple are two examples of plants which have winged seeds dispersed by wind.
Question 105.


What are spores? When are they formed? Give examples. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:

Each point: 1 Mark
A spore is an asexual reproductive body developed by an organism. It has a thick protective coating that protects it.
Spores are formed when the conditions are not favourable for the organism to reproduce. When favourable conditions return, the spore germinates to give rise to new individual organism.
Spores arethe means of reproduction in many fungi like the bread mould and plants like moss and ferns.


Question 106.


Name and explain about the male and the female parts of a flower. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:

Naming: 1 Mark
Explanation: 2 Marks
Stamen is the male part of the flower while pistil is the female part of a flower.
Stamen consists of two parts - anther and filament. Anther produces pollen grains which contain the male gamete. Filament connects the anther to the flower.
A pistil consists of three parts - stigma, stile and ovary. Stigma receives the pollen grains while pollination. style connects the stigma to the ovary. Ovary contains ovule which houses the female gamete.


Question 107.


Give some characteristics of seeds that are dispersed by air? Give example. [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:
Characteristics: 1 Mark
Example: 1 Mark
Seeds dispersed by wind have following characteristics
1. Small in size.
2. Light in weight.
3. Presence of wings. Eg., maple and drumstick.
4. Presence of hairy growths. Eg. grass and sunflower.
Question 108.


Explain three methods of seed dispersal?  [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:

Each point: 1 Mark
Seed dispersal occurs by the following agents:


1. Dispersal by wind - The seeds that are dispersed by wind are usually light in weight and have wing-like structures for efficient propagation. The stigma of these flowers have hair like structures. eg: maple.
2. Dispersal by water - This kind of dispersal occurs in aquatic plants and plants which grow near water bodies. eg: coconut seeds.
3. Dispersal by animals - Some seeds have spine-like structures on them. They get stuck on the fur of the animals and get spread to different places.


Question 109.


How are seeds dispersed by water? Give example.  [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:
Dispersal: 1 Mark
Example: 1 Mark
When the seeds of plants growing near water bodies, land up in water, they get transferred from one place to another along with the water currents. This is seed dispersal by water.
Seeds that are dispersed by water develop floating ability by forming spongy, fibrous coat.
Eg: Coconut
Question 110.


Given below is a diagram representing a pistil. Identify the labeled parts.  [2 MARKS]  
 


Given Below Is A Diagram Representing A Pistil. Identify The...


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> fertilisation
:

Each point: 0.5 Mark
(i) Stigma
(ii) Style
(iii) Ovary
(iv) Ovules
