Botany and Plant Science

The scion is a cutting that is located on the sides of the plant. This cutting is most commonly grafted onto the root system of another plant. The scion is selected to be cut especially for its flowers, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. The genes in the scion are able to be duplicated by the scion plant.

This is the correct option as a flower is not involved in vegetative reproduction. Only the vegetative parts of a plant take part in it, i.e. root, stem and leaf.

This is the correct option. Ferns and mosses are non-flowering and reproduce by the method of spore formation.

This is the correct option. Stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower.

This is the correct option. A pistil consists of a basal swollen portion called the ovary.

This is the correct option. Anther is the swollen structure present on the tip of the filament.

This is the correct option. The female sex cells or gametes are present in the ovule.

This is the correct option. In mustard plant, the male and the female parts are present in the same flower. It is a bisexual plant.

This is the correct option. Maize flowers are pollinated by wind.

It is defined as the meristem appearing later in the life cycle of a plant. It develops dedifferentiation in the permanent tissues. It causes secondary growth in the plant body. The prominent examples are cork cambium and vascular cambium.

It is defined as the meristematic tissue differentiating into protective structures like epidermis.

It is defined as the parenchyma where cells enfold large intercellular spaces filled with air. It helps in buoyancy and respiration. It is peculiarly found in aquatic floating plants.

This is defined as the parenchyma occuring radially & being arranged in between the vascular bundles in the stem. It is meant for storage of conserved food in the plants.

This is defined as the xylem components which in certain angiosperms is confined to leaf surface only.

It is defined as the collenchyma where the deposition of hemicellulose and pectin takes place only in the angles between the cells. It is found in the stem, usually below the epidermis, forming a region called hypodermis.
