Flowers that have a single ovule in the ovary and are packed into inflorescence are usually pollinated by:
1. | Water | 2. | Bee |
3. | Wind | 4. | Bat |
Cultivation of flowering and ornamental plants for gardens and for commerce and trade is called:
1. | Horticulture | 2. | Plant breeding |
3. | Floriculture | 4. | Micropropagation |
Tapetum :
I. | Is a layer of nutritive cells that are found within the microsporangium. |
II. | The cells are usually bigger and normally have more than one nucleus per cell because mitosis is not normal in them. |
III. | Helps in pollen wall formation, transportation of nutrients to the inner side of the anther, synthesis of callose enzyme for separation of microspore tetrads. |
Of the above statements, the correct ones are:
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
How many cells of the female gametophyte are surrounded by a cell wall and are organized into cells?
1. | 6 | 2. | 7 |
3. | 8 | 4. | 2 |
Cleistogamous flowers are:
1. | Mostly autogamous | 2. | Invariably autogamous |
3. | Mostly xenogamous | 4. | Invariably xenogamous |
Majority of the flowering plants produce:
1. | Female flowers | 2. | Male flowers |
3. | Hermaphroditic flowers | 4. | Neutral flowers |
In artificial hybridization experiments, if the female plant produces unisexual flowers, emasculation:
1. | Must be done before maturity. |
2. | Must be done after maturity. |
3. | Must be done at maturity. |
4. | Is not needed. |
The germ pore in the pollen wall:
1. | is an aperture in the pollen intine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
2. | is the name of the nucleus of the microspore mother cell. |
3. | is formed where sporopollenin is located in the exine. |
4. | is an aperture in the pollen exine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
Which of the following is not used by flowering plants as an outbreeding device?
1. | Lack of synchronization between pollen release and stigma receptivity. |
2. | Anther and Stigma placed at different levels. |
3. | Self-incompatibility. |
4. | Production of bisexual flowers. |
The pollen tube releases the two male gametes first into:
1. The vicinity of the egg cell.
2. The vicinity of polar nuclei.
3. In the cytoplasm of synergids.
4. In the cytoplasm of antipodals.
