The meristem that helps grasses regenerate parts removed by the grazing herbivores is the:
1. | Shoot apical meristem | 2. | Root apical meristem |
3. | Intercalary meristem | 4. | Lateral meristem |
All the following are true for trichomes except:
1. | they are usually unicellular |
2. | they may be branched |
3. | they may be secretory |
4. | they help in prevention of water loss due to transpiration |
Mesophyll cells present in the ground tissue of leaves are:
1. | chloroplasts lacking thin walled cells |
2. | chloroplasts containing thick walled cells |
3. | chloroplasts containing thin walled cells |
4. | chloroplasts lacking thick walled cells |
Open vascular bundles:
I: | have cambium present between xylem and phloem |
II: | possess the ability to form secondary tissues |
III: | are rare in dicotyledonous stems |
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
In conjoint type of vascular bundles:
I: | xylem and phloem are jointly situated on the same radius of vascular bundles. |
II: | xylem is usually located on the outer side of the phloem. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both are correct | 4. | Both are incorrect |
Casparian strips are:
1. | waxy deposition of suberin on only the tangential walls of the endodermal cells |
2. | waxy deposition of suberin on only the radial walls of the endodermal cells |
3. | waxy deposition of suberin on both tangential and radial walls of the endodermal cells |
4. | waxy deposition of lignin on both tangential and radial walls of the endodermal cells |
The term ‘stele’in a dicot root does not include:
1. | Endodermis | 2. | Pericycle |
3. | Vascular bundles | 4. | Pith |
Monocot root anatomy is different from the anatomy of dicot root in all the following aspects except:
1. | More developed pith |
2. | Polyarch vascular bundles |
3. | Absence of secondary growth |
4. | Presence of multicellular root hairs |
The hypodermis of a dicotyledonous stem:
1. | is parenchymatous and synthesizes and stores food |
2. | is collenchymatous and provides mechanical strength to the young stem |
3. | is sclerenchymatous and provides mechanical strength to the young stem |
4. | is parenchymatous and provides mechanical strength to the young stem |
