Question 51. Which of the following is true about asexual reproduction in plants?
I: It does not require seeds
II: It takes place in flowers
III: Spore formation is an example of it
IV: It requires two plants for the process
  1.    II
  2.    I, II and III
  3.    I and IV
  4.    I and III
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> I and III
:
D
Asexual reproductionrequires only one parent plant.There is no exchanging of genetic information, therefore, offspring are clones of the parent. Asexual reproduction in plants can occur in a variety of forms which includesbudding, vegetative propagation, spore formation and fragmentation. Hence I and III are correct.
Question 52. Budding is a mode of reproduction observed in _________ .
  1.    mango trees
  2.    algae
  3.    yeast
  4.    mushroom
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> yeast
:
C
Buddingis a form of asexual reproduction in plants. Thenew 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 areidentical tothe parent plant.Yeast reproduces with the help of this method.
Question 53. 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 isthe female reproductive part of a flower. Itconsists ofthe stigma, style, and ovary. Anther isthe part of a stamen (male organ) that contains the pollen. Hence I, III and IV are components of a pistil.
Question 54. 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 55. 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 ofasexual reproduction. A sporeis areproductivebodyfound in bacteria, fungi, various plantsand some protozoans, that can developinto a new individual. Hence statementI, III and IV are correct.
Question 56. 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 beaccomplished by sexual orasexual ways. In sexualreproduction, offspring are formedby the fusion of gametes, which resultsin offspring, which are genetically different from theparents. 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 57. 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 58. Seeds develop from _______ after fertilization occurs.
  1.    ovary
  2.    ovule
  3.    stigma
  4.    style
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ovule
:
B
Ovules is the partof flowerthat develops into seed after fertilization. Ovule is located inside the ovary and it consists of the female gamete. Eventually, the ovarydevelops into the fruit which contains the seeds.
Question 59.


A flower can have both male and female reproductive parts.


  1.     True
  2.     False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
A flower can have both male and female reproductive parts. The male part is called androecium and the female part is called gynoecium. Such flowers are called bisexual flowers. E.g., hibiscus, lily etc.
Question 60.


A fruit is a ripened ovary.


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

Ovaries develop into fruits and ovules into seeds after fertilization. These fruits are responsible for dispersing the seeds that contain the embryo. They protect the seeds and help in the growth of a new plant.
