Botany-Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants - Online Test
Q1. Which kind of embryo is shown in figure below
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
The zygote divides mitotically many times to form large number of cells. These cells arrange into different shape. The most common embryo is Globular embryo.
Q2. Embryonal axis has the radicle and root cap enclosed in an undifferentiated sheath is known as
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
In monocotyledonous seeds embryonal axis has undifferentiated sheath that covers radicle and root cap is called coleorhiza.
Q3. The cleavage of the zygote or earlier stage of its development into two or more units to form many embryo is called as
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Zygote may divides into two or more parts to develop multiple embryos. The formation of more than one embryo inside the same ovule by cleavage is called cleavage polyembryony.
Q4. If an endosperm cell of angiosperm contain 24 chromosome, the number of chromosome in each cell of root is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Endosperm cells are triploid as they are formed by triple fission of two polar nuclei and one male gamete. So, haploid cell will contain 8 chromosomes only. Root cells are diploid. Hence root cell will contain 16 chromosomes.
Q5. Embryology is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Embryology is the branch of biological science in which we study about spore, fertilisation as well as formation of embryo. It is not just the formation of embryo from zygote.
Q6. The fertilisation in which male gametes are carried through pollen tube is called as
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Pollen grain lands on stigma for pollination. The pollen grain germinates and moves towards egg through pollen tube. This male and female gamete fusion is called siphonogamy.
Q7. The endosperm cells in angiosperms are
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Endosperm is the product of triple fission in which two polar nuclei fuse with one of the male gamete. Endosperm provide nutrient to the developing embryo
Q8. Double fertilisation is fusion of
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Double fertilisation is the fusion of Syngamy and triple fission. One male gamete fertilizes the egg and other male gamete fuse with two polar nuclei called triple fission.
Q9. The meiocyte of an onion plant contains 32 chromosomes. Calculate the number of chromosomes found in its endosperm
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
The meiocyte cell are diploid so, haploid cell will contain 16 chromosomes. The endosperm cell are formed by fusion of two polar nuclei and one male gametes so, endosperm cells are triploid that will contain 16x3= 48 chromosomes.
Q10. Epiblast present in certain monocot embryo represents
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
Embryo of certain monocotyledonous seeds contain additional cotyledon besides one present in al monocots. This cotyledon represents the evolutionary stage of cotyledon formation from one to two.
