Plant Biology and Classification Questions
-
Yeasts
-
Dryopteris
-
Funaria
-
Rhizopus
C
Correct answer
Explanation
In Funaria, the spores are green and contain chloroplasts, which allows them to begin photosynthesis immediately upon germination.
-
Riccia
-
Funaria
-
Spirogyra
-
Dryopteris
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The protonema is a filamentous, juvenile stage in the life cycle of mosses, such as Funaria, which develops directly from the germinating spore.
-
Nepenthes
-
Utricularia
-
Dionaea
-
Monotropa
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Monotropa (Indian pipe) is a non-photosynthetic plant that obtains nutrients from decaying organic matter, making it a saprophyte. Nepenthes, Utricularia, and Dionaea are insectivorous plants.
-
Non vascular cryptogams
-
Non vascular embryophytes
-
Vascular cryptogames
-
Vascular embryophytes
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Bryophytes are also called non vascular cryptogams because vascular tissues are absent in them.Bryophyte is a traditional name used to refer to all embryophytes (land plants) that do not have true vascular tissue and are therefore called "non-vascular plants".Some bryophytes do have specialized tissues for the transport of water. Since these do not contain lignin, they are not considered to be true vascular tissue.
-
Phylum
-
Class
-
Kingdom
-
Series
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Kingdom is the largest unit of biological classification. In the animal kingdom, the term phylum is used instead of division , in the plant kingdom.
-
Plant body is either leafy or thalloid.
-
Flagelleted male gametes
-
presence of cuticle
-
multicellular sporangia
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Pteridophytes differ from bryophytes in having plant body is either leafy or thalloid.Plant body is differentiated into root, stem and leaves
The cells in plant body are diploid.
-
genus
-
family
-
species
-
ecotype
C
Correct answer
Explanation
A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which two individuals are capable of reproducing fertile offspring, typically using sexual reproduction.
-
families
-
orders
-
species
-
genera
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Genus is a group of similar and related species.
-
Presence of Archegonia
-
Presence of jacketed sex-organs
-
Water is essential for fertilization
-
Independent sporophyte
D
Correct answer
Explanation
In bryophytes the sporophyte is attached and dependent upon the gametophyte for nutrition i.e. is parasitic on the gametophyte.
-
Fertilisation
-
Germination
-
Circulation
-
Pollination
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male anther to the female stigma, which is a prerequisite for fertilization.
-
classification
-
termination
-
germination
-
circulation
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Classification is the scientific process of grouping organisms based on shared characteristics. Germination refers to plant growth, and circulation refers to the movement of fluids.
