Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 2

Radish is an example of fusiform tap root. The edible part of radish is a modified tap root. In a plant with a taproot system, the taproot is the central and dominant root. Typically, a taproot is straight and very thick. It is tapering in shape and grows directly downward. There are different types of modified tap roots like fusiform, napiform, conical, tuberous roots. Fusiform root is swollen at the middle and tapers gradually at both the ends forming a spindle shaped structure.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 8

Function of stem is - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 8

• The function of the stem is to bear leaves and branches.
• It also helps in the conduction of water and minerals and also helps in the conduction of food storage.
• The chief functions of the stem are to support the leaves; to conduct water and minerals to the leaves, where they can be changed into usable products by photosynthesis; and to deliver these products from the leaves to other parts of the plant, containing the roots.

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 9

Main function of leaf is - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 9

Leaves are appendages present in green plants.
They contain a pigment called chlorophyll which is necessary for photosynthesis. This photosynthetic reaction takes place in the leaves and results in the production of carbohydrates (food).
The lower surface of leaves has many small openings known as stomata. These pores help the  plant in the exchange of gasses with their surroundings.
Therefore it can be inferred that both the manufacture of food and exchange of gasses takes place through leaves.

In the second option, raceme and cyathium both are types of inflorescence but are different.
In the fourth option, verticillaster is a mixed type of inflorescence and spike is separate type than it.
But correctly related are corymb and umbel, in these both are closely related type of inflorescence like both are a type of racemose inflorescence.
 

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 13

In Geranium the seeds are dispersed by –

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 13

As the fruits dry, stresses develop within the awns, causing them to separate abruptly and flinging the seeds some distance away from the parent plant (explosive dispersal). Finally, we used the model to explore two fundamental tradeoffs in the Erodium-type dispersal mechanism.

The stamen is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Collectively the stamens form the androecium.

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 15

The floral organs arise from - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 15
  • In the context of flowering plants, the term "mother axis" refers to the main axis or stem from which flowers arise.
  • The floral organs, which include sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils, are specialized structures that make up the flower.
  • These floral organs arise from specific regions or nodes along the mother axis, which is also known as the floral axis.
Test: Plant Morphology - Question 16

If the filaments are fused in a single group the condition is - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 16

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 17

A typical flower with superior ovary and other floral parts inferior is - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 17

A typical flower with superior ovary and other floral parts inferior is hypogynous. A superior ovary is an ovary attached to the receptacle above the attachment of other floral parts. A superior ovary is found in types of fleshy fruits such as true berries, drupes, etc. A flower with this arrangement is described as hypogynous. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 19

A characteristic of angiosperm is - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 19

Angiosperms have much smaller female reproductive parts, allowing them to produce seeds more quickly. Angiosperms have carpels that enclose developing seeds that may turn into a fruit. A great advantage for angiosperms is the production of endosperm.

Test: Plant Morphology - Question 20

Basifixed anther is attached to filament-  

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 20

The anther can be attached to the filament's connective in two ways. One is basifixed, in which an anther is attached from its base to the filament and another one is dorsifixed, in which anther is attached at its center to the filament. Also, an anther whose attachment is middle so that it can swing freely is called as versatile anther.

A berry fruit is - 

Detailed Solution for Test: Plant Morphology - Question 29

A berry fruit is fleshy and multiseeded. Berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single flower and containing one ovary. Grapes and bananas are two common examples. The berry is the most common type of fleshy fruit in which the entire ovary wall ripens into an edible pericarp. They may have one or more carpels. The seeds are usually embedded in the fleshy interior of the ovary, but there are some non-fleshy exceptions, such as peppers, that have air rather than pulp around their seeds.
