I. Endosperm is generally triploid in angiosperms.
II. All angiosperms have monosporic and endosporic embryo sac.

Which of the following is false in angiosperms?

  1. Egg cell - haploid

  2. Megaspore - diploid

  3. Pollen grain - haploid

  4. Synergid - haploid

  5. Endosperm - triploid


Correct Option: B

Datura is a classical example of study of

  1. Monosomics

  2. Trisomics

  3. Triploids

  4. Nullisomics


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Trisomics are those organisms, which have an extra chromosome (2n + 1). Trisomics were obtained for the first time in Datura stramonium (jimson weed) by A.F. Blakeslee and his co-workers. Since haploid chromosome number in this species is n = 12, 12 primary trisomics, 24 secondary trisomics and a large number of tertiary trisomics are possible. Most of the trisomics were identified by size, shape and other morphological features of the fruit.
So, the correct answer is 'Trisomics'.

Which one of the following plants has ovary superior, monocarpellary and unilocular with several ovules on marginal placenta?

Correct Option: A
