MCQ
Which one of the following statements is correct?
  • Cleistogamous flowers are always autogamous.
  • B
    Xenogamy occursonly bywind pollination.
  • C
    Chasmogamous flowers do not open at all.
  • D
    Geitonogamy involves the pollen and stigma of flowers of different plants.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Cleistogamous flowers are always autogamous.
a
(a) : In cleistogamy, as the flowers never open so there is no alternative of self pollination. It is invariably autogamous. In xenogamy, pollination takes between two flowers of different plants (genetically and ecologically). It can ocur by wind, water, insects and animals.Chasmogamy occurs when the flowers expose their mature anther and stigma to the pollinating agents. Geitonogamy is the pollination taking place between the two flowers of the same plant or genetically similar plant. Genetically, it is self pollination but as the agency is involved it is ecologically cross pollination.

(C) In pteridophytes genera like selaginella and salvinia are homosporous.
(D) Majority of pteridophytes are hetero sporous.
(E) In gymnosperms, two kinds of spores produced within sporangia that are bome on sporophylls are arranged spirally along an axis to form lax or compact strobili or cones.
(F) In gymnosperms the cones bearing megasporophylls with ovules or megasporangia are called macrosporangiate or female strobili.
(G) The megaspore mother cell is differentiated from one of the cells of the nucellus in gymnosperms.
(H) The angiosperms are an exceptionally large group of plants occurring in wide range of habitats.
(I) The male gamete fuses with diploid secondary nucleus to produce the triploid primary endosperm nucleus (PEN) in angiosperm.
(J) The ovules develop into seeds and the ovaries develop into fruit after fertilization.
(K) The diploid sporophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic, dependent phase of the plant. The gametophytic phase is represented by single to few-celled haploid gametophyte. This kind of life cycle is termed as diplontic.
(L) Meiosis in zygote results in the formation of haploid spores in haplontic life cycle.
(M) In bryophytes multicellular gametophyte is totally/partially dependent on sporophyte for anchorage and nutrition.
(N) Most algal genera are haplontic, some of them such as Ectocarpus, Polysiphonia, kelps are diplontic. Fucus, an alga is hepto diplontic.
(0) All pteridophytes show haplo-diplontic life cycle.
