For union between stock and scion in grafting which one is the first to occur.

  1. Formation of callus

  2. Production of plasmodesmata

  3. Differentiation of new vascular tissues

  4. Regeneration of cortex and epidermis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The process of joining of a tissue or a small part into the tissues of another plant is called Grafting. The tissue or part inserted is called stock and the plant into which foreign part is inserted is called scion. During this process, a group of cells are formed initially. It is called callus.

So, the correct option is ‘Formation of callus’.

Grafting is a method of

  1. Artificial vegetative propagation

  2. Sexual reproduction

  3. Artificial pollination

  4. Cross-pollination
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Grafting is an artificial propagation technique in which tissue from one plant, the scion, is attached to another, the rootstock. The rootstock produces new vascular tissue with which to feed scion the graft heals itself.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Artifical vegetative propagation'.

In a grafted plant, stock has $48$ chromosomes while scion has $24$ chromosomes. The chromosome number for root cells and eggs are.

  1. $48$ and $24$
  2. $24$ and $24$
  3. $24$ and $12$
  4. $48$ and $12$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The stock is the plant part containing strong root system and sicon is the plant part which contains better fruit and fruit yield. In root cells, the chromosome number remains constant, reduced half in egg cell. So the chromosome number for root cells are 48 and eggs are 12.

So the correct option is '48 and 12'.

The technique of rapid vegetative propagation of plants of agricultural and horticultural value involving cell and tissue culture is popularly known as micropropagation.

  1. True

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

Tissue culture is also called Micropropagation.  it  is a type of vegetative propagation for producing a large number of genetically superior and pathogen-free transplants in a limited time and space. Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern plant tissue culture methods. Micropropagation is used to multiply plants such as those that have been genetically modified or bred through conventional plant breeding methods. 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.

So the given statement is true.

Induction of rooting in stem cutting would be most beneficial in

  1. Marchantia

  2. Wheat

  3. Cuscuta

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

Auxin is a plant hormone that is involved in various growth and developmental processes of plant. It stimulates the induction of rooting in stem cuttings. Bougainvillea plants are primarily propagated by stem cuttings. Hence, induction of rooting in stem cutting would be most beneficial in Bougainvillea.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Which of the following is not an example of the artificial propagation?

  1. Fragmentation- the separation of plant parts to develop into whole plants

  2. Grafting- the attachment of a scion onto a stock plant that provides a root system

  3. Apomixis- the asexual reproduction of seeds

  4. Production of fruit without fertilization in parthenocarpic plants
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Artificial reproduction/propagation is the creation of a new life by other than the natural means available to an organism. The process of growing many plants from one plant by man-made methods is called artificial propagation of plants. A number of methods of artificial propagation of plants are used in agriculture.

Fragmentation- Fragmentation in multicellular organisms is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develops into matured, fully grown individuals that are identical to their parents.
Grafting- The cut stem of a plant having roots and fixed in the soil is called stock which is the lower part of a plant having the roots. The cut stem of another plant without is called 'scion' which is the upper part of a plant which may have left on it. The cut soon heals and the stock and scion of two plants grow together and become one plant.
Apomixis- Apomixis is defined as replacement of the normal sexual reproduction by asexual reproduction, without fertilization. Replacement of the seed by a plantlet or replacement of the flower by bulbils is categorized as types of apomixis.
Parthenocarpic plants: Parthenocarpy is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilization of ovules, which makes the fruit seedless. Parthenocarpy occasionally occurs as a mutation in nature.
So the correct option is 'production of fruit without fertilization in parthenocarpic plants'.

Vegetative reproduction is most favourable with which part of plant.

  1. Stem

  2. Root

  3. Leaves

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

  • A stem can easily be cut out and planted at a different location for growing a new plant.
  • Steam is most easy to manage among the given parts of the plant.

So, the correct answer is 'Stem'.

Artificial vegetative propagation is a .......... method.

  1. Slow

  2. Natural

  3. Man-made

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

Artificial propagation is the creation of new life by other than the natural means available to an organism. Cutting plants' stems and placing them in compost is also a form of artificial reproduction. We can grow many plants from one plant by using the man-made methods. The process of growing many plants from one plant by man-made methods is called as the artificial propagation of plants.
