Important Questions on Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

EASY
Which one of the following generates new genetic combinations leading to variation?
MEDIUM

Study the following lists. Match the floral parts given in List - I with the corresponding symbols, in List - II

   List - I     List - II
(a) Calyx (i)
(b) Ovary superior (ii) %
(c) Actinomorphic (iii) C
(d) Zygomorphic (iv) K
    (v) G

The correct answer is

EASY

The plant parts which consist of two generations one within the other:

(a) Pollen grains inside the anther
(b) Germinated pollen grain with two male gametes
(c) Seed inside the fruit
(d) Embryo sac inside the ovule

HARD
Which of the following has proved helpful in preserving pollen as fossils?
EASY
If we explore anther wall from outside to inside then which sequence will be correct?
A- Endothecium
B- Tapetum
C- Epidermis
D- Middle Layer
MEDIUM

Assertion (A): Pollengrains are well preserved as fossils

Reason (R): The exine of pollen grains is made up of sporopollenin, which can withstand high temperatures, strong acids and alkali.

MEDIUM

Assertion A: Xenogamy involves transfer of pollen grains from the flower of one plant to the stigma of another plant.

Reason R: This is the only type of pollination which brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

The correct answer is:

EASY
Which is the most common mechanism of genetic variation in the population of sexually-reproducing organism?
