Test: Morphology of Flowering Plants - 1 - NEET MCQ

The leaf base bear two lateral small leaf like structures called stipules.

The Nepenthes pitcher is an adaptation designed for capturing insects and should not be confused with a stem modification.

In Cymose type of inflorescence the main axis terminates in a flower, hence is limited in growth. The flowers are borne in a basipetal succession.

• The roots of plants growing in swamps grow vertically upwards like conical spikes and have aerating pores.
• These roots are called pneumatophores and enable the plant to take in oxygen even from water-logged soils.
• They also act as stilts for support when the water level rises and provide stability to the plant.

Morphology is the branch of science in which we study about form, size, colour, structure and relative position of various parts of organisms.

• Runners are horizontal stems that grow along the soil surface with long internodes.
• They are a form of vegetative propagation, enabling a single plant to spread across the ground.
• In plants like strawberries, these runners are a common means of spreading and forming new plants.

In basalplacentation, the placenta develops at the base of ovary and a single ovule is attached to it,

The edible part of Coconut is endosperm and embryo. The water inside the coconut is cellular embryo and white kernel surrounding it is main edible part that is endosperm.

When the several pistils of thesame flower are separate and the ovary belongs to a single free carpel, it is called apocarpous.

In recemose inflorescence indefinite growth occurs and bears a number of flowers due to active growing point.

Aleurone layer of maize grain is rich in proteins. It is the outermost layer of the endosperm followed by the inner starchy endosperm.

A seed is made up of a seed coat and an embryo.

The hilum is a scar on the seed coat through which the developing seeds were attached to the fruit.

The whorl perianth represents undifferentiated calyx and corolla. Its individual units are called tepals.

In epigynous flowers, the margin of thalamus grows upward enclosing the ovary completely and getting fused with it, the other parts of flower arise above the ovary.

Fabaceae are the sources of pulses such as gram, arhar,sem, moong, soyabean.

The cells proximal (towards the root tip) to the meristematic zone in the root tip represent the zone of cell elongation. The root tip is composed of several distinct zones, including the meristematic zone, zone of cell elongation, zone of differentiation, and zone of maturation. These zones are responsible for different processes involved in root growth and development.

A: In a pinnately compound leaf a number of leaflets are present on a common axis, the rachis, which represents the midrib of the leaf as in neem.
B: In palmately compound leaves, the leaflets are attached at a common point, i.e., at the tip of petiole, as in silk cotton.

The embryo is small and situated in a groove at one end of the endosperm. It consists of one large and shield shaped cotyledon known as scutellum. Scutellum is the first leaf of monocot. 

Drupes, also known as stone fruits, are characterized by having a hard and stony endocarp. The endocarp is the innermost layer of the fruit wall and is often hard and stony in drupes, enclosing the seed(s) within. Examples of drupes include fruits like peach, plum, cherry, and mango, where the endocarp is hard and stony, giving them the name "stone fruits".
