Majority of plants:
1. | Use abiotic agents for pollination |
2. | Use biotic agents for pollination |
3. | Do not use any agent for pollination |
4. | Use both abiotic and biotic agents for pollination. |
Pollens grains are long ribbon-like and are carried passively in water in:
1. | female plants remain submerged in water |
2. | male plants remain submerged in water |
3. | both male and female plants remain submerged in water |
4. | both male and female plants reach the surface of the water. |
Double fertilization is:
1. | Seen in some flowering plants |
2. | In seen in many flowering plants |
3. | Is seen in both flowering and non-flowering plants |
4. | Is a unique event of flowering plants |
Transfer of pollens from the anther to the stigma of the same flower is called:
1. | Autogamy | 2. | Geitonogamy |
3. | Xenogamy | 4. | Cleistogamy |
In over 60 % of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at:
1. | 2-celled stage | 2. | 3-celled stage |
3. | 4-celled stage | 4. | 1-celled stage |
The outer hard layer of the pollen wall is made up of:
1. | Callose, which is easily digested by enzymes |
2. | Sporopollenin, which is resistant to all enzymes |
3. | Hemicellulose, which is difficult to digest by enzymes |
4. | Calcium pectate, which is easily digested by enzymes |
Syngamy in angiosperms results in the formation of:
1. | A haploid cell | 2. | A diploid cell |
3. | A triploid cell | 4. | A polyploid cell |
Whether a pollen grain will be able to germinate on a stigma is primarily decided by:
1. | The stage at which the pollen is shed |
2. | Recognition by the stigma |
3. | Maturity of the egg cell in the embryosac |
4. | Environmental conditions |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding water-pollinated flowers:
1. | Pollination by water is rare and is seen in monocotyledons mostly |
2. | Pollen grains in most are covered by a mucilaginous covering |
3. | Produce nectar |
4. | Are not very colourful |
The only type of pollination which during pollination brings a genetically different type of pollen grains to the stigma is:
1. | Chasmogamy | 2. | Cleistogamy |
3. | Geitonogamy | 4. | Xenogamy |
