Test: Pinus - Question 16

What causes sulphur clouds in spring season of temperate climate:

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 16

Sulphur showers is a phenomenon related to pollination in Pine trees. Pines are naked seed- bearing plants, belonging to the group gymnosperms. Pines bear cones, they are called conifers. Pines have leaves in the form of needles. The cones are of two types, seed cones (female) and pollen cones (male) on the same plant. As the pollen cones mature, they discharge large quantities of pollen grains into the air and it appears as a yellow cloud of yellow of winged pollen grains. This is called Sulphur Shower and occurs during spring.

Test: Pinus - Question 17

The male gametophyte of gymnosperms differ from angiosperms in having -

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 17

The male gametophyte has two prothallial cells in Coniferales and Ginkgoales while one in Cycadales. No prothallial cells are found in angiosperms. One stalk cell and two male gametes which are flagellated in Cycadales and Ginkgoales while non-flagellate in rest of gymnosperms like that of angiosperms.

Test: Pinus - Question 18

Wings of Pinus pollen grains are -

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 18

The function of wing cells in pine pollen grains is to let the seeds be able to range over a larger area when they fall from the cones.  Pollen is a sticky powder that is produced by the male parts of flowering plants. It is an important part in the process of plant pollination and reproduction.

Test: Pinus - Question 21

The ovuliferous scale of Pinus is part of -

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 21

Megasporophyll : A leaf on which the megaspores are formed: corresponds to the carpel of a flowering plant. Compare microsporophyll. [C20: from mega- + sporophyll] The female or ovulate (seed) cone consists of a spiral series of overlapping ovuliferous scales each producing two ovules on the upper surface. Each scale is subtended by a small fused structure on its lower surface called a bract. The bracts in pine are microscopic and difficult to see.

Test: Pinus - Question 22

In Pinus the megaspore after germination develops into -

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 22

The megaspore mother cell undergoes meiosis and the product of female meiosis is the linear tetrad of four megaspores. Multiple egg cells, each housed in its own archegonium, will form from the female gametophyte. This haploid female gametophyte in conifers is not a synonym for an endosperm.

Test: Pinus - Question 23

In Pinus oospore develops into

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 23

Cleavage polyembryony has been reported from four genera in the Pinaceae family, Cedrus, Keteleeria, Pinus and Tsuga, (Dogra, 1967). Rarely does more than one proembryo develop further into an embryo.

During cleavage polyembryony, the four apical cells and the suspensor network in the proembryo separate into four filamentous embryos. The four embryos, which arise from the separated tiers, begin their development by apical cell growth (Buchholtz, 1920). The apical cell disappears as the embryonal mass starts to form. Initially the four embryos are of equal size, but successively the embryos start to compete for nutrition and space to grow and survive. It has been suggested that the embryo with the best physiological constitution situated in the most suitable environment becomes the dominant embryo, which usually develops to maturity (Buchholtz, 1926). The dominant embryo suppresses the growth and development of the subordinate embryos mechanically by means of its suspensor system, and thereby causes starvation.

Test: Pinus - Question 24

What is the intermediate stage in the development of the embryo of Pinus

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 24

Proembryo in a flowering plant denotes the series of cells that are formed after fertilization within the ovule of a plant, before formation of the embryo.

Test: Pinus - Question 25

The development of embryo in Pinus is

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 25

Meroblastic embryogeny is common in gymnosperms. When the part of zygote is involved in the development of embryo, this type of embryo development is called meroblastic embryogeny. In these plants embryo is developed from a portion of oospores and in such case more than two embryos can be developed(polyembryony)

Test: Pinus - Question 26

Gymnosperm produce seed in -

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 26

Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scales or leaves, which are often modified to form cones, or solitary as in Yew, Torreya, Ginkgo. The gymnosperms and angiosperms together compose the spermatophytes or seed plants.

Test: Pinus - Question 27

Seed of Pinus contain several embryos with a compound suspensor. They are developed through

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 27

Seed of Pinus contain several embryos with a compound suspensor which helps in pushing the embryo into the endosperm. They are developed through cleavage polyembryony in which splitting of an embryo into several identical parts, each of which is capable of developing into a mature embryo. And usually, only one embryo develops to maturity.

Test: Pinus - Question 28

Which of the following is not applicable to Pinus ?

Detailed Solution for Test: Pinus - Question 28
