  1. Phanerogams and cryptogams

  2. Thallophytes and bryophytes

  3. Monocots and dicots

  4. Vertebrates and invertebrates

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Angiosperms are also called as flowering plants that are classified based on characteristics that include cotyledon structure, pollen grains, as well as flower and vascular tissue arrangement. Basal angiosperms, classified separately, contain features found in both monocots and dicots, as they are believed to have originated before the separation of these two main groups. Monocots contain a single cotyledon and have veins that run parallel to the length of their leaves; their flowers are arranged in three to six-fold symmetry. Dicots have flowers arranged in whorls, two cotyledons, and a vein arrangement that forms networks within their leaves. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Maize is a __________.

  1. Dicotyledonous plant

  2. Monocotyledonous plant

  3. Crytogamae

  4. Gymnosperm

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Angiosperm are subdivided into two classes which are cotyledons and dicotyledons depending on the number of cotyledons in their embryo. Maize has just one cotyledon in its embryo.

Angiosperms are subdivided into two classes which are cotyledons and dicotyledons.

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Phanerogamae are the sub-kingdom of kingdom Plantae. They include seed bearing and flowering plants. They are further grouped into angiosperms and gymnosperms. Angiosperms are subdivided into two classes which are cotyledons and dicotyledons depending on the number of cotyledons in their embryo.

What is true of angiosperms?

Correct Option: A

In angiosperms, a mature male gametophyte is formed from a pollen mother cell through.

  1. Two meiotic divisions

  2. Three mitotic divisions

  3. One meiotic and two mitotic division

  4. A single meiotic division

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Meiosis produces pollen grain. Its cell divides mitotically to form generative nucleus and tube cell. The generative nucleus undergoes another mitosis to form two male gametes.

So, the correct answer is 'One meiotic and two mitotic division'

In angiosperms, formation of two male gametes from a pollen grain involves - divisions.

  1. One mitotic and one mitotic

  2. Two meiotic and two mitotic

  3. Only two mitotic

  4. Only two meiotic
