- A. Root parts
- B. Stem parts
- C. Leaf parts
- D. Flower parts
Explanation: Vegetative propagation is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals arise without the involvement of seeds or spores.
Correct answer: Flower parts- A. Callus
- B. Periblem
- C. Dermatogen
- D. Pericycle
Explanation: The mass of dividing undifferentiated cells of the cut end of the shoot is called a callus.
Correct answer: Callus- A. Sporulation
- B. Gametogenesis
- C. Apomixis
- D. Parthenogenesis
Explanation: Gametogenesis is not a type of asexual reproduction. Gametogenesis is the process by which haploid gametes (sex cells) are produced within…
Correct answer: Gametogenesis- A. Variable
- B. Unicellular
- C. Identical
- D. All (A), (B) and (C)
Explanation: Tissue culture, also known as micropropagation, is a technique used to produce a large number of plants quickly and efficiently, all of…
Correct answer: Identical- A. Clone may be genetically unstable
- B. Clone may be infertile
- C. Clone karyotype may be altered
- D. All of the choices are correct
Explanation: Clones produced through tissue culture may sometimes exhibit genetic instability.
Correct answer: All of the choices are correct- A. Isogamy
- B. Anisogamy
- C. Oogamy
- D. All of the choices are correct
Explanation: Oogamy is a form of sexual reproduction found in many organisms, including plants, algae, and some animals.
Correct answer: Oogamy287. A type of syngamy in which both fusing gametes are flagellated but different in size are known as:
- A. Isogamy
- B. Anisogamy
- C. Oogamy
- D. All of the choices are correct
Explanation: Anisogamy is a form of sexual reproduction in which gametes (reproductive cells) differ in size or shape between the male and female…
Correct answer: Anisogamy- A. Isogamy
- B. Anisogamy
- C. Oogamy
- D. All of the choices are correct
Explanation: Isogamy is a form of sexual reproduction in which gametes (reproductive cells) are similar in size and shape.
Correct answer: Isogamy- A. Homosporous
- B. Heterosporous
- C. Microsporous
- D. Megasporous
Explanation: In gymnosperms, the main plant body, or sporophyte generation, is indeed diploid (2n).
Correct answer: Heterosporous- A. Pollen tube
- B. Microspore
- C. 2 to 5 archegonia
- D. Both (B) and (C)
Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon!
Correct answer: 2 to 5 archegonia- A. Microspore
- B. Megaspore
- C. Embryo sac
- D. Synergids
Explanation: In gymnosperms, the male gametophyte develops from the microspore. The microspores are produced within the microsporangia, which are…
Correct answer: Microspore- A. Archegonia
- B. Megaspore mother cell
- C. Pollen grain
- D. Ovule
Explanation: In gymnosperms, the male gametophyte consists of a pollen grain. The pollen grain is a multicellular structure that develops from a…
Correct answer: Pollen grain- A. Microsporangium
- B. Pollen tube
- C. Mega sporangium
- D. None of these
Explanation: In angiosperms, the seed develops from the ovule after fertilization. The ovule is a structure within the ovary of the flower that…
Correct answer: Mega sporangium- A. A seed
- B. A stamen
- C. An ovule
- D. A pollen grain
Explanation: In both gymnosperms and angiosperms, the egg is produced within a female structure called the ovule.
Correct answer: An ovule- A. Swimming sperm
- B. A prothallus
- C. Flowers
- D. Cones
Explanation: Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, are characterized by the production of flowers during their life cycle.
Correct answer: Flowers- A. Germination
- B. Reproduction
- C. Pollination
- D. Fertilization
Explanation: The transfer of pollen grains to the female part of the plant is called pollination.
Correct answer: Pollination- A. Sexual reproduction
- B. Asexual reproduction
- C. Zygote
- D. None of the above
Explanation: The production of new plants from underground stems is an example of vegetative propagation.
Correct answer: Asexual reproduction- A. Stamen
- B. Sepal
- C. Petal
- D. Pistils
Explanation: The male reproductive part of a flower is called the stamen. The stamen typically consists of two main parts:Anther: The anther is the top…
Correct answer: Stamen- A. Stigma tube
- B. Ovule tube
- C. Pollen tube
- D. Stamen tube
Explanation: In seed plants, sperm travel down through a structure called the pollen tube to reach the egg.
Correct answer: Pollen tube- A. Microsporangia
- B. 2 male gametes
- C. Pollen grains
- D. Ovules
Explanation: A carpel is not modified to produce pollen grains; rather, it is part of the female reproductive structure in flowering plants…
Correct answer: Ovules
