Q.1
External water is not required for fertilization of ...[ BHU 1992]
0%
a) Pteridophytes
0%
b) Bryophytes
0%
c) Thallophytes
0%
d) Spermatophytes
Explanation
External water is not required for fertilization in gymnosperms and angiosperms (spermatophytes). In pteridophytes fertilization takes place in presence of water. At the time of fertilization neck canal cells and ventral canal cell disintegrate forming a passage for antherozoids to enter inside. Water is essential to facilitate the act of fertilization in bryophytes. The male gametes or antherozoids swim through water and are attracted by the chemical of mucilagenous material secreted from archegonium. Group thallophyta includes the algae and fungi. The algae are mostly aquatic and the fungi are saprophytic or parasitic. Answer:(d)

Which is connected to asexual reproduction .. [ CET Chd. 2012]
0%
a) Gemmules
0%
b) Gametes
0%
c) Gonads
0%
d) Genitalia
Explanation
Gemmules are internal buds found in sponges and are involved in asexual reproduction. It is an asexually reproduced mass of cells, that is capable of developing into a new organism i.e., an adult sponge. A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is a mixed gland that produces the gametes (sex cells) and sex hormones of an organism. A gamete is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that sexually reproduce. Genitalia is a sex organ is any part of an animal's body that is involved in sexual reproduction. Answer:(a)

Q.23
Regarding fertilization which among the following statements is incorrect ...
0%
a) It determines the sex of the offspring
0%
b) It restores diploid condition in the zygotes
0%
c) Paternal and maternal sets contribute to the diploid number without causing any variation
0%
d) It activates egg both physiologically and metabolically
Explanation
The process of fusion between haploid male nucleus and egg nucleus is known as fertilization which leads to formation of a diploid zygote and restores diploid condition in zygote. Fertilization activates the egg physically and leads to formation of fertilization. The eggs become metabolically active and allows division of nucleus and forms embryo. Sexual reproduction leads to the recombination of character in the pachytene stage of the meiosis which causes variation. So, the statement is false. Fertilization determines the sex. Answer:(c)

0%
a) Gibberellin
0%
b) Auxin
0%
c) Cytokinin
0%
d) Both B and C
Explanation
The hormone used in tissue culture for better growth is auxin and cytokinin. The explant is cultured on the nutrient media. It turns into callus which is a mass of undifferentiated cells. Callus when treated with auxin it promotes rooting and when it is treated with cytokinin it stimulates cell maturation, differentiation and finally, promotes the development of stem. After formation of the stem, it differentiates into the different vegetative plant. Answer:(d)
