Multiple choice botany reproduction in angiospermic plants pollination and its types germination sexual reproduction in plants

The flower of which of the following plant is zygomorphic?

  1. Bean

  2. Datura

  3. Mustard

  4. Canna
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
A flower can be cut into two equal parts vertically in one direction is called zygomorphic flower.

Bean - zygomorphic flower
Datura - actinomorphic flower
Mustard - actinomorphic flower
Canna - asymmetric flower

So, the correct option is 'Bean'.

Production of plant without fertilization is done by

  1. Vegetative propagation

  2. Transplantation

  3. Grafting

  4. Both A and C
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In plants, vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new plant develops from a vegetative part of plant. This vegetative part is basically a stem, root or any other part of plant which have tendency to reproduce.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Grafting is not successful in monocots but is successful in dicots because they have

  1. Vascular bundles arranged in a ring

  2. Cambiurti for secondary growth

  3. Vessels with elements arranged end to end

  4. Cork cambium
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Grafting is not successful is monocots but is successful in dicots because monocots lack cambium tissue which forms secondary growth. The cambium possesses the ability to form secondary xylem and phloem. It is present in dicots. In case of grafting, it is very important that the plant should form primary and secondary tissue for its survival. So, it take place only in dicots.

So, the correct answer is option B.

........... is the most convenient and cheap method of artificial vegetative propagation.

  1. Grafting

  2. Budding

  3. Cutting

  4. Micropropagation
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Cutting is the most convenient and cheap method of artificial vegetative propagation because it doesn't require any skilled trained technique and it is not affected by contamination. On the other hand, the technique like grafting and budding requires skilled hand while micropropagation is highly sensitive to contamination and requires skilled hand.
Grafting is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant are used to regenerate the growth. 
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction which do not involve fusion of gametes. A new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The bud remains attached to the parent plant and separates after it gets mature. It leaves a scar at the point of separation. 
Cutting is a technique where the vegetative part is used for the propagation of plant. Cuttings are meristematic in nature so it can easily grow into a new plant.
Micropropagation is the process of multiplication and maintenance of genetically modified or hybrid plant. 
So, the correct answer is option C.

Micropropagation production of

  1. True to type plants

  2. Haploid plants

  3. Somatic hybrids

  4. Somaclonal plants
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Micropropagation is the process of production of similar plants or clones. It is also used to provide a sufficient number of plantlets for planting from a stock plant which does not produce seeds or does not respond well to vegetative reproduction. The step of micropropagation includes:
1) The plant which needs to be propagated is chosen.
2) The plant part which has to be used as an explant is chosen. It can be the pollen, leaf, stem etc of the stock plant.
3) The explant is surface sterilized.
4) Culture the explant on a nutrient media.
5) After growth of root and shoot, it undergoes hardening treatment where it is grown under temperature available on fields to prepare them for growth.
6) In the final stage of plant micropropagation, the plantlets are removed from the plant media and transferred to the soil.
So, the correct answer is option A.

Identify the correct statement

  1. Because of marked climatic variations, plants growing near the sea shore do not produce annual rings

  2. The age of the plant can be determined by its height

  3. Grafting is difficult in monocot plants as they have scattered vascular bundles

  4. Healing of damaged tissue is because of activity of sclerenchyma cells
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Grafting is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant are used to regenerate the growth. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. 
Grafting is not possible in monocots as they lack cambium and the joining of vascular tissues between the scion and rootstock donot take place and the vascular bundles are scattered.
So, the correct answer is option C.

In grafting, stock is

  1. Stem of desired variety

  2. Bud of desired variety

  3. Part of rooted plant

  4. Part to be grafted
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Grafting is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant is used to regenerate the growth. One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. The joining of scion and stalk is known as inosculation. The technique is mostly used in an asexual mode of reproduction. 
So, the correct answer is option C.

Plants with poor root system are propagated through

  1. Layering

  2. Leaf cuttings

  3. Stem cuttings

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

Plants with poor root system are propagated through grafting. Grafting is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of the plant are joined so as to continue their growth together. The two plants are selected, one with good roots called rootstock and another with good flowers, fruits, leaves or stem called scion. The scion contains the desired genes to be duplicated. The plants with poor roots but with the desired  quality of other products are used as scion and grafted on plants with good mature roots.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
