Correct Option: C

Greatest extent of adaptation to various environments is found in __________.

  1. Gymnosperms

  2. Bryophytes

  3. Ferns

  4. Angiosperms.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Greatest extent of adaptation to various environments is found in angiosperms. Angiosperms grow on most of the places on earth. They grow in hot (Cactus) and cold deserts. They also grow in high altitude of Himalayas, in water (Hydrilla)  and all types of terrestrial habitat.

So, the correct answer is 'Angiosperms.'

  1. Flowers are nice to work with

  2. Flowers have various colour

  3. Flowers can be safely pressed

  4. Reproductive parts are more stable and conservative than vegetative parts

Show answer
Correct Option: D

A group of PUC students are appearing for a biology practical examination. One of the practical problems is to identify the slide focused under a microscope. When they observe, they see a structure more or less spherical having an outer most layer which is green in colour and in the middle many of parenchyma cells and a number of skull-shaped bundles are arranged irregularly all around. Help them in identifying the structure properly.

  1. It is the transverse section of a dicot stem.

  2. It is the transverse section of a monocot root.

  3. It is the transverse section of a dicot leaf.

  4. Both B and C

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Monocots have their vascular bundles arranged in the form of a ring. They have spherical structures when seen in a microscope.  In their outermost layer, there is a presence of chloroplast containing chlorophyll. Both of them have these layers of epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, vascular tissue, conjunctive tissue, pith. In the middle layer, there are parenchyma cells. Below it, there are skull-shaped bundles of xylem and phloem arranges spherically.

So, option D is the correct answer.

Ploidy of ovum of angiosperms is

  1. Haploid

  2. Diploid

  3. Triploid

  4. Polyploid

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In Angiosperms, the female gametophyte, or megagametophyte, is the embryo sac. Eggs develop in the ovules of the angiosperm flower. Within each ovule is a megaspore mother cell. Each megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores.

Secondary growth is absent in

biology pictorial feature of plant kingdom phanerogams gymnosperms angiosperms

  1. Monocotyledons

  2. Dicotyledons

  3. All angiosperms

  4. Gymnsoperms

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
(A) secondary growth is absent in monocotyledons due to absent of cambium ring between xylem and phloem.
(B) Dicotyledons show secondary growth due to the presence of the cambium ring between xylem and phloem.
(C) Angiosperms include monocot and dicot in which monocot does not show secondary growth due to the absence of cambium ring.
(D)  secondary growth present also in gymnosperms due to the presence of the cambium ring between xylem and phloem.
So, the correct answer is 'Monocotyledons'.

The beginning of photosynthesis in a dicot plant is marked by the formation of

biology pictorial feature of plant kingdom phanerogams gymnosperms angiosperms

  1. Cotyledon

  2. Endosperm

  3. Embryonic root

  4. Apical meristem

  5. Lateral meristem

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Dicots are the flowering plants recognized by the presence of two cotyledons. Initially, in the seed, the endosperm provides nourishment. The cotyledons are the initial primary leaves formed after the germination of seed. These are the small green leaves which mark the start of the photosynthesis and the plant can synthesize food on their own. 

Thus, the correct answer is option 'Cotyledon'.
