MEDIUM
Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched with respect to their mode of reproduction?
MEDIUM
During fertilisation in plants the male and female gametes unite, triggering the process of cell division followed by seed formation. A gene BBM1, expressed only in the male gamete, is responsible for eliciting rapid cell division. A researcher overexpressed the BBM1 gene in the female gamete that resulted in the multiplication of the female gamete into an embryo and then the seed. The plants obtained from these seeds were genetically identical to the parent. This phenomenon is commonly seen in a few select plants naturally, and is known as
EASY
Which group of lichens do NOT produce spores?
MEDIUM
Choose the correct statements related to binary fission of Paramecium?
(i) During favourable conditions Paramecium stops feeding after attaining its maximum growth.
(ii) At first the micronucleus divides by amitosis and the macronucleus divides into two daughter nuclei by mitosis.
(iii) The proter receives the anterior contractile vacuole, cytopharynx and cytostome from its parent individuals.
(iv) Before karyokinesis a transverse constriction appears in the middle of the body.
MEDIUM

Statement I: The binary fission of Euglena is called homothetogenic fission because the daughter euglenae are like mirror images.
Statement II: Binary fission in Paramecium is known as perkinetal fission because it occurs at right angles to the kineties.
