Drupe has : (UGET Manipal, 2004)
A drupe fruit is characterized by having a hard endocarp. The endocarp is the inner layer that surrounds the seed, commonly known as the stone or pit. Examples of drupes include cherries, peaches, and plums.
Zygomorphic condition can be represented as: (UP CPMT,, 2009)
Which of these characters do not belong to Composite? ( CPMT,1991)
An inflorescence always forms a : (Punjab PMT 1997 )
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem. When the flowers of an inflorescence mature and form fruit, they typically form a multiple or composite fruit. This is because the fruit develops from the ovaries of multiple flowers.
Which of the following pairs is not correct? (J & k, 2004)
Raceme is a type of inflorescence where flowers are borne on short stalks along the main axis. Wheat, however, does not have a raceme inflorescence; it has a spike inflorescence. Thus, the pair Raceme – Wheat is not correct.
Which of the following is a wrong pairing?
The correct pairing for compound umbel is found in plants like 'Apiaceae' family (e.g., coriander, fennel, etc.), not onion. So, option o3 is the incorrect pairing.
Select the correct pair
Colum I
(a) Unilocular Ovary
(b) Bilocular Ovary
(c) Trilocular Ovary
(d) Pentalocular Ovary
Colum II
(p) Five Chamber
(q) Three Chamber
(r) One Chamber
(s) Two Chamber
Colum III
I Petuna
II Asparagus
III Hibiscus
IV Sunflower
The correct pairs are: (a)- (r)- IV (Unilocular Ovary - One Chamber - Sunflower), (b)- (s)-I (Bilocular Ovary - Two Chamber - Petunia), (c)- (q)- II (Trilocular Ovary - Three Chamber - Asparagus), (d)- (p)-III (Pentalocular Ovary - Five Chamber - Hibiscus).
Match the following with correct combination. Colum I (P) Marginal Placentation (Q) Axial Placentation (R) Free central Placentation (S) Parietal Placentation Colum II I Petuna II Dianthus III Mustard IV Pea
The correct matchings are: (P)- IV (Marginal Placentation - Pea), (Q) – I (Axial Placentation - Petunia), (R)-II (Free central Placentation - Dianthus), (S)-III (Parietal Placentation - Mustard). This is based on the typical placentation found in these plants.
Match list I with list II and select the correct answer using the codes givenbelow the lists.
List I
P. Totalstemparasite
Q. Assimilatoryroot
R. clinging root
S. partial parasite
List II
I Loranthus
II Pothos
III Tinospora
IV cuscuta
In botany, specific plants have unique adaptations. Loranthus is a partial stem parasite, Pothos has clinging roots, Tinospora has assimilatory roots, and Cuscuta is a total stem parasite. Thus, matching these correctly:
P. Total stem parasite - IV Cuscuta
Q. Assimilatory root - III Tinospora
R. Clinging root - II Pothos
S. Partial parasite - I Loranthus
The correct sequence is P Q R S IV III II I.
In Marginal placentation, the placenta forms a ridge
along the
Marginal placentation is when the placenta forms a ridge along the ventral suture of the ovary and the ovules are borne on this ridge forming two rows. This is commonly seen in legumes such as peas.
