A. Small and inconspicuous petals
B. Large bright petals
C. Strong scent
D. Nectar glands
Answer: Wind-pollinated flowers are small and inconspicuous because they do not need to attract insects.
A. Style
B. Ovary
C. Anther
D. Stigma
Answer: The stigma is the sticky top of the pistil that catches and holds pollen grains.
A. Cotyledon
B. Endosperm
C. Seed coat
D. Pericarp
Answer: In double fertilization, one male gamete fuses with the egg and the other with the polar nuclei to form endosperm.
A. Petal
B. Anther
C. Sepal
D. Stigma
Answer: Sepals are the outermost green parts of a flower that protect the developing bud.
A. Light and dry
B. Sticky and heavy
C. Brightly coloured
D. Fragrant
Answer: Wind-pollinated plants produce light, dry pollen so that wind can carry it easily.
A. Petal
B. Sepal
C. Anther
D. Ovule
Answer: The pollen tube grows through the style and ovary and delivers the male gametes to the ovule.
A. Pollination
B. Fertilization
C. Germination
D. Budding
Answer: Fertilization is the fusion of a male gamete with a female gamete to form a zygote.
A. Parthenocarpy
B. Vernalization
C. Dichogamy
D. Phototropism
Answer: Dichogamy is the condition where stamens and stigma mature at different times, preventing self-pollination.
A. Fruit
B. Seed
C. Root
D. Leaf
Answer: After fertilization, the ovary enlarges and develops into the fruit.
A. Seed coat
B. Petal
C. Style
D. Pericarp
Answer: The ovary wall thickens after fertilization and becomes the pericarp (fruit wall).
A. Fruit
B. Seed
C. Flower
D. Root
Answer: Each ovule in the ovary develops into a seed after fertilization.
A. Grow larger
B. Turn into seeds
C. Wither and fall
D. Become green leaves
Answer: Once fertilization occurs, the petals usually wither and fall because they are no longer needed.
A. Identical clones of the parent
B. Always different from the parent
C. New species
D. Hybrids
Answer: Vegetative propagation involves mitosis only, so the new plants are genetically identical clones of the parent.
A. Below the soil surface
B. Into the roots
C. Inside the stem
D. Above the soil surface
Answer: In epigeal germination, the hypocotyl elongates and lifts the cotyledons above the soil surface.
A. Pollen
B. Water
C. Fertilizer
D. Sunlight
Answer: Water, oxygen and a suitable temperature are the essential conditions for seed germination.
A. Above the soil
B. In the air
C. Below the soil
D. On the leaves
Answer: In hypogeal germination, the cotyledons remain below the soil while the plumule emerges above it.
A. Pea
B. Bean
C. Papaya
D. Mustard
Answer: Pea shows hypogeal germination because its cotyledons stay below the ground during germination.
A. Grafted onto a rootstock
B. Inserted into water only
C. Joined with another stem
D. Bent and covered with soil until it develops roots
Answer: In layering, a branch is bent down and covered with soil; once roots form at the covered part, the branch becomes a new plant.
A. Anther
B. Ovule
C. Stigma
D. Petal
Answer: The pollen tube carries the male gamete down to the ovule, where the egg cell is located.
A. Hypogeal germination
B. Vivipary
C. Epigeal germination
D. Spore germination
Answer: Bean shows epigeal germination, in which the cotyledons are lifted above the soil by the elongating hypocotyl.
