Important Questions on Reproduction in Plants
A worm X found in freshwater and slow-moving streams has been accidentally cut into three pieces. It was observed that in due course of time, each cut piece of the worm developed to become a complete worm by growing all the missing parts.
“Name another organism Y which possesses the same characteristic of growing fully from its cut body.”
State whether X and Y are unicellular and/ or multicellular organisms.

Moninder wants to find out the best temperature for mustard seeds to germinate. He uses three Petri dishes. Each dish has a layer of moist tissue paper covered with 30 mustard seeds. Moninder puts one dish in a warm cupboard, one in a cool cupboard and one in a refrigerator. He waters all of the seeds regularly for 21 days. His results for the first four days are shown in the table.
Number of germinated mustard seeds | Number of germinated mustard seeds | Number of germinated mustard seeds | Number of germinated mustard seeds | |
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | |
Warm cupboard | 0 | 5 | 20 | 24 |
Cool cupboard | 0 | 2 | 8 | 14 |
Refrigerator | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
