Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 5

Gymnosperm plants lack :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 5

Gymnosperms are seed-bearing plants that lack the combination of specialized features that characterize the flowering plants. The name gymnosperm, means naked seed.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 6

Gymnosperm plants do not produce fruits because they do not have:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 6
Its ovary.......as ovary becomes fruit after fertilization..
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 7

Ovule is morphologically equivalent to:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 7
Ovules consist of a nucellus and one or two integuments, with the nucellus being the megasporangium where meiosis takes place. One or more megaspores develop into a haploid female gametophyte, which eventually produces one or more egg cells.The integument is an integral part of the ovule throughout the spermatophytes.
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 8

Cones in Gymnosperm plants are:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 8

Gymnosperms are heterosporous, producing two kinds of spores microspores and megaspores produced by separate sporangia. The two types of sporangia - microsporangia and megasporangia are found on special leaf like structures, called as sporophylls. The microsporangia represent the pollen sacs and the megasporangia represent the ovules. Microsporangia occur on microsporophylls (stamens) and megasporangia occur on megasporophylls (carpels). 
The sporophylls are usually aggregated to form structures called as cones or strobili. Male cones (with microsporophylls) and female cones (with megasporangia) occur separately.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 9

Double fertilization and triple fusion are characteristic of:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 9
Describe double fertilization and triple fusion in angiosperms. Answer: Double fertilization is the process in which two male gametes fuse with the female gamete and the secondary nucleus respectively to form the zygote and the endosperm. ... The endosperm functions in providing nourishment to the developing embryo.
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 10

In which of the following characters, the angiosperms resemble gymnosperms:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 10
Gymnosperm as well as angiosperm both produces seed through the fertilization and modification of ovule.
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 11

Ovules are naked in gymnosperm because:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 11

The gymnosperms do not have petals or flowers, but they do produce seeds. The name 'Gymnosperm' means, 'naked seeds' and refers to the fact that the gymnosperms bears their seeds on the margins of modified leaves or cones. 
There are no sealed carpels, like those the define angiosperms. Although gymnosperms do have ovules, they do not have ovaries, pistils or stamens. Since the term 'fruit' refers to the mature ovary, gymnosperms do not in botanical usage have 'fruit' and the reproductive stages are referred to as cones. 

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 12

Which character most differentiates angiosperms from gymnosperms :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 12

Angiosperms are also called as flowering plants. Seeds of angiosperms are enclosed in the ovary (usually a fruit). Gymnosperms do not have flowers or fruits. In gymnosperms, the ovules are not enclosed in an ovary. They lie exposed on the leaf-like structures called as the megasporophylls. A long time span separates pollination and fertilization, and the ovules begin to develop into seeds long before fertilization has been accomplished; in some cases, in fact, fertilization does not occur until the ovules (seeds) have been shed from the tree.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 13

Gametophyte embeded in sporophyte in:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 13

Spermatophyta subdivided into gymnosperms and angiosperm. and in both of them sporophyte is dominant. and gametophyte is embedded on sporophyte.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 14

Eggs do not occur in archegonia in:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 14

Archegonia are multicellular organs found during the gametophytic phase of the plants and contains ovum. With a long neck canal or venter and a swollen base these are either found on the surface of the plant or are embedded. However, in case of Angiosperms, there is no archegonia and the megagametophyte is reduced to just a few cells, one of which differentiates into the egg cell are contained in the ovule and enclosed in the megasporophyll or carpel.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 15

Antheridia and archegonia are absent in :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 15
Antheridia are present in the gametophyte phase of cryptogams like bryophytes and ferns.In gymnosperms and angiosperms, the male gametophytes have been reduced to pollen grains and in most of these the antheridia have been reduced to a single generative cell with in the pollen grain.
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 16

Ovules absent in:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 16

In the pteridophytes 'ovules' are not formed. The egg cell divides and redivides in the 'archegonia' and just forms a baby plant.
it is , however, surmised that the now extinct 'seed ferns' were primitive ferns that had incipient 'seeds'. Pteridiphytes are thus considered to be ancesters of the 'seed plants'.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 17

Ephedrine is obtained by :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 17
Ephedrine is obtained from the plant Ephedra sinica and other members of the genus Ephedra. Raw materials for the manufacture of ephedrine and traditional Chinese medicines are produced in China on a large scale.....
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 18

I In gymnosperms, the pollination is:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 18

In gymnosperms pollination only occurs by wind i.e pollination is anemophilous. During pollination, pollen grains are blown by the wind to land on the female cones. Also during pollination, the pollen grains are transferred directly to the ovule as the ovules are exposed directly on the surface. Hence, pollination is not stigmatic but micropylar (micropyle being a small opening in the surface of the ovule).

So, the correct answer is 'Anemophilous- micropylar'.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 19

Resin turpentine is obtained from:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 19
Turpentine is the volatile oil distilled from pine resin, which itself is obtained by tapping trees of the genus Pinus. The solid material left behind after distillation is known as rosin.
Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 20

Which group is largest in gymnosperms:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 20

Conifers are a magnificent group of gymnosperm plants that produce seeds without fruit or flowers. They include some incredible trees, such as the 'Giant Sequoias' of North America, that can grow over 110 m tall.
The conifers are by far the largest group of gymnosperms with around 630 species worldwide of a total approximation of around 860 species. The word 'conifer' is Latin for 'cone bearing', because conifers produce cones within which they produce pollen (male cone) and grow seeds (female cone).
Conifers are all woody plants, mostly trees and a few shrubby species, they have either needle-like or scale-like leaves and most species are evergreen. They include the economically important pines and many other timber species that are exploited for use in construction and paper.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 21

Spore bearing tracheophytes:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 21

The Tracheophyta division encompasses plants possessing a vascular system. Within this division, the Pteridophyta phylum comprises vascular plants that lack seeds and rely on spores for reproduction and dispersal.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 22

Which of the following Gymnospermic orders resembles with angiosperms:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 22

Gymnosperms grow in cold and dry climates and they don't have need for water as compared to angiosperms and the second reason is that they didn't evolve to have vessels and vessels are considered as an advanced element of xylem but exceptionally the order gnetales (considered as advanced gymnosperms) have vessels in their xylems. So, it resembles angiosperms.

Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 23

Living fossil:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Gymnosperms - 2 - Question 23

The term 'living fossils' refers to plants or animals that closely resemble any fossil species.
Psilotum of the order Psilotales shows essentially primitive features. While the plants are rootless, the development from the zygote accounts for its primitiveness. The plant body is unspecialized anatomically and the sporophyte is a primitive simple thallus with main axis weakly differentiated into underground rhizome and leafy aerial shoot. The Ginkgoes with their earliest earliest representatives being found in rocks of Permian age some 280 million years old are the earlier line of plants. However, Ginkgo is a tree that is even today grown as an ornamental tree as well as for herbal medicine and is hence considered as the living fossil. Cycas plants which have remained unchanged for the past 300 million years are also called a living fossil.
