Occurrence of triploid $\left(3n\right)$ endosperm is characteristic feature of

  1. Algae

  2. Bryophyte

  3. Gymnosperms

  4. Angiosperms
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Triploid endosperm is formed by the fusion of one male gamete with two polar nuclei, a process known as triple fusion, which is exclusive to angiosperms.

Which is not true about monocots?

  1. Embryo has single cotyledon

  2. Leaves show parallel venation

  3. Flowers are generally trimerous

  4. Vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral and open

D Correct answer
Explanation

Monocots have closed vascular bundles (lacking cambium). Open vascular bundles, which allow for secondary growth, are characteristic of dicots.

Consider the following statements with respect to angiosperms.
(a) Male sex organ in a flower is the stamen
(b) Anthers following mitosis produce pollen grains
(c) In an embryo sac, the primary endosperm nucleus (PEN) is diploid
(d) After double fertilization, ovules develop into seeds and ovaries into fruits
Of the above statements

  1. (c) and (d) are correct

  2. (a) and (b) are correct

  3. (a) and (c) are correct

  4. (a) and (d) are correct

  5. (b) and (c) are correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Statement (a) is correct as the stamen is the male reproductive organ. Statement (d) is correct as ovules become seeds and ovaries become fruits. Statement (c) is incorrect because the PEN is triploid (3n), not diploid.

Read the following statements.
(a) Angiosperms range in size from microscopic Wolffia to tall trees of Eucalyptus
(b) In angiosperms, the seeds are enclosed by fruits
(c) Double fertilization is an event unique to angiosperms
(d) In angiosperms, each cell of embryo sac is diploid
(e) In angiosperms, the zygote develops into an endosperm
Of the above statements, the correct ones are

  1. $a, b$ and $d$
  2. $a, b$ and $e$
  3. $a, b$ and $c$
  4. $b, c$ and $d$
  5. $b, c$ and $e$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Statements (a), (b), and (c) are correct. Statement (d) is false because cells in the embryo sac are haploid (except the central cell). Statement (e) is false because the zygote develops into an embryo, not endosperm.
