State whether the following statements are true or false.
Seedlings grown for a few days in the dark often have lesser fresh weight and greater dry weight than those kept in light for a comparable period.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

For the development of any seedling or plants, both light and dark phases are required for proper growth. The seedlings that are growing requires light as the carbon sources in them and the other nutrients are present in its complete amount but when they are placed in the darkness they are unable to perform certain functions so there is less production of nutrients resulting in lower fresh weight. Thus, the light phase is the phase on which growth of the plant is dependent upon. 

So, the correct statement is 'False'.

Which of the following members of spermatophyte is able to produce seed but not cones?

  1. Eucalyptus and Wolfia

  2. Pinus & Cycas

  3. Pteris & Dryopteris

  4. Eucalyptus & Pinus
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Spermatophytes are seed-bearing plants. Eucalyptus is an angiosperm (flowering plant) and Wolffia is an angiosperm; both produce seeds but do not produce cones, as cones are characteristic of gymnosperms like Pinus and Cycas.

During seed germination its stored food is mobilized by?

  1. Ethylene

  2. Cytokinin

  3. Abscisic acid

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

Gibberellins invigorate the combination of α-amylase and proteases compound in germinating grains of oats. They are associated with the transformation of starch into sugar. The proteases convert an inert β-amylase to the dynamic frame. The dynamic β-amylase and α-amylase together process starch to glucose which is prepared to meet the metabolic requests of developing life. 

So, the correct option is 'Gibberellin'.

During which of the following stages of seed development, the production and storage of energy in mitochondria increases? 

  1. Seed germination

  2. Dormant seed

  3. Development of seeds

  4. Seed formation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Seed germination is a vitality requesting process that requires. while the mitochondrial mass increments amid interphase. It is suggested that the biogenesis of mitochondria amid germination begins from the advancement. 
Thus, the correct option is 'Seed germination.'

Formation of seeds without fertilisation can take place by all except.

  1. Germination of vegetative propagule

  2. Apogamy

  3. Diplospory

  4. Sporophytic budding
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Apogamy, diplospory, and sporophytic budding are forms of apomixis, which is the formation of seeds without fertilization. Germination of a vegetative propagule is a method of vegetative reproduction, not seed formation.

When dry seeds are placed in wet soil 

  1. They absorb water

  2. They increase in size

  3. The hard seed coats get ruptured

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

When dry seeds are placed in wet soil they absorb water and increase in size because of this the hard seed coats get ruptured and process of germination of seed takes place.
