Select the wrong statement

  • Isogametes are similar in structure, function and behaviour

  • Anisogamets differ either in structure, function and behaviour

  • In oomycetes female gamete is smaller and motile, while male gamete is larger and non-motile

  • Chlamydomonas exhibits both isogamy and anisogamy and fucus shows oogamy

Solution

C.

In oomycetes female gamete is smaller and motile, while male gamete is larger and non-motile

Oomycetes (egg fungus) include water moulds, white rusts and downy mildews. In these, white rusts and downy mildews. In these, female gamete is smaller and motile, whereas male gamete is larger and non-motile. 
Isogametes are found in algae like Ulothrix, Chlamydomonas, Spirogyra etc., which are similar in structure, function and behaviour. 
Anisogametes are found in Chlamydomonas in which one gamete is larger and non-motile and the other one is motile and smaller.
Oogamy is the fusion of non-motile egg with motile sperm. The gametes differ both morphologically as well as physiologically. It occurs in Chlamydomonas, Fucus Chara, Volvox, etc

Which one of the following is not correct statement?

  • Herbarium houses dried, pressed and preserved plant specimens.

  • Botanical gardens have collection of living plants for reference

  • A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals

  • Key is a taxonomic aid for identification of specimens

Solution

C.

A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals

Museums have a collection of preserved plants and animal specimens for study and reference specimens are preserved in the containers in preservative solutions.
Herbarium is a store house at collected plant specimens that are dried, pressed and preserved on sheets.
Botanical gardens have a collection of living plants for reference.
The key is a taxonomic aid for identification of plants and animals based on the similarities and dissimilarities.

Question

Isogamous condition with non-flagellated gametes is found in

  • Chlamydomonas

  • Spirogyra

  • Volvox

  • Fucus

Solution

B.

Spirogyra

Isogamy is found in Spirogyra in which both gametes are non-motile.In Chlamydomonas, all three conditions, isogamy anisogamy and oogamy are found.Both motile and non-motile gametes are found. In volvox and Fucus, oogamy is present, where non-motile egg fuses with motile sperm.

Question

Besides paddy fields, cyanobacteria are also found inside vegetative part of

  • Pinus

  • Cycas

  • Equisetum

  • Psilotum

Solution

B.

Cycas

Cyanobacteria within the coralloid roots of Cycas are chemoheterotrophic and specifically adapted to life in symbiosis. Only a few species of cyanobacteria form associations with Cycas. Pinus is gymnosperm.Equisetum belongs to vascular plants and to horse tail family.Psilotum belongs to division -Pteridophyta and is a fern like a plant.

Question
CBSEENBI11002078

Among bitter gourd mustard, brinjal, pumpkin, China rose, lupin, cucumber, sunn hemp, gram, guava, bean, chilli, plum, Petunia, potato tomato, rose, With potato, onion, aloe and tulip, how many plants have hypogynous flower?

  • Six

  • Ten

  • Fifteen

  • Eighteen

Solution

C.

Fifteen

 

Flowers

 

Hypogynous

Perigynous

Epigynous

Gynoecium present above all the floral parts

Ovary is superior

Gynocecium present in the centre.

Other part almost at same level.

Ovary half inferior, e.g., Plum,rose

Ovary enclosed by thalamus and gets fused with it

Other parts above ovary

Ovary inferior e.g., Guava, cucumber.

Pulm, rose are perigynous and guava, cucumber are epigynous. So, total remaining plants are hypogynous.
