Botany and Plant Science Questions
-
They possess either stamen or carpel.
-
They do not possess any reproductive organ.
-
They self-pollinate.
-
They contain both stamen and carpel in the same flower.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Option 1 is the correct answer because flowers that bear pistils only are called pistillate flowers, which are considered as female flowers, and those that bear stamens only are called staminate flowers, which are considered as male flowers.

Nucellus
A
Correct answer
Explanation
It is the diploid structure which forms the part of future sporophyte in Cycas.
-
sporophytic phase in pteridophytes
-
sporophytic phase in gymnosperms
-
sporophytic phase in angiosperms
-
gametophytic phase in pteridophytes
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Gametophytic phase in Pteridophytes is represented by prothallus, which is independent.and is formed by germinating spore.In pteridophytes a phenomena called alternation of generation is found in which the sporophytic and gametophytic phase alternates.

-
female reproductive
-
male reproductive
-
basic cell
-
respiration
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and a filament. It produces pollen grains.
-
anther
-
filament
-
Both A and B
-
None of the above
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A stamen is composed of two main parts: the pollen-bearing anther and the supporting stalk called the filament.
-
multi lobed
-
bi lobed
-
six lobed
-
five lobed
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The typical angiosperm anther is dithecous, meaning it is bi-lobed, with each lobe containing two pollen sacs.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
In Agave, vegetative buds (bulbils) develop in the inflorescence, which is the flower-bearing part of the plant.
-
outer
-
inner
-
middle
-
outermost
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The pollen grain wall consists of two layers: the outer exine and the inner intine.
-
single
-
double
-
four to five
-
no
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The typical anther wall consists of four layers: epidermis, endothecium, middle layers, and tapetum.
-
uni
-
bi
-
poly
-
None of the above
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Pollen grains are typically shed at a 2-celled stage containing a vegetative cell and a generative cell, which means they are bi-nucleated. Distractors like uni-nucleated fail to account for the mitotic division of the microspore nucleus.
