Consider the following statements regarding the embryological features of Exocarpus and choose the correct answer:<br>1. The development of anther is normal<br>2. Four celled pollen grains are shed at the time of dehiscence of anther<br>3. Development of 8 nucleate Polygonum type of embryo sac takes place<br>4. The seed is not 'naked'

Correct Answer: Only 1, 3 and 4 are true

Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. In angiosperms the pollination consists of transference of the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma either by self-pollination or by cross-pollination
2. Pollen grain is shed from the pollen sac in the two-celled stage
3. The exine of each microspore grows out into a tube, called the pollen tube
4. The growth of pollen tube is stimulated by sugary substances secreted by the stigma

Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. In Oenothera type of monosporic embryo sac, the embryo develops from the micropylar megaspore of the tetrad
2. Antipodal cells are altogether absent in Oenothera type
3. The genus Trapa forms an 8-nucleate embryo sac of the Polygonurn type
4. Oenothera type of embryo sac development has been found to be a characteristic feature of the entire family Onagraceae

Consider the following statements regarding recurrent type apomixis and choose the correct answer:
1. There is meiosis during the formation of megaspore
2. The embryo sac is diploid in nature
3. The embryo sac never develops from a cell of the archesporium
4. The development of embryo from a cell of an embryo sac other than egg is known as apospory

Consider the following statements regarding the germination of pollen grain and choose the correct answer:
1. The content of the pollen is a true male gametophyte
2. The pollen tube comes out due to the protrusion of the exine through the germ pore
3. When the pollen grain has germinated, the pollen tube penetrates the stigma through the stigmatic papillae
4. Some stigmas have a continuous cuticle in which pollen tubes penetrate by enzyme action

Which of the following phrases (i),(ii), and (iii) given below each sentenceshould replace the phrase printed in boldletters to make the sentence grammaticallycorrect? Choose the best option among thefive given alternatives that reflect the correctuse of phrase in the context of thegrammatically correct sentence.

iii. shed its leaves every time autumnapproaches

Consider the following statements regarding Xenia and choose the correct answer:
1. If a white variety (yy) is pollinated with pollen from a yellow variety (YY), one of the male gametes (Y) will unite with the egg (y) to produce a hybrid embryo (Yy) which will act as a heterozygote for yellow endosperm in the next generation
2. The second male gamete (Y) will unite with the two polar nuclei (y, y) and produces the primary endosperm nucleus (Yyy) which is triploid
3. If a yellow endosperm variety (YY) is crossed with pollen from a white grained variety, the grains produced are white like the pollen parent

Consider the following statements regarding poloyembryony and choose the correct answer:
1. False polyembryony includes the development of two or more embryo sacs within the Same nucellus, and the embryos are derived from different embryo sacs
2. In cleavage polyembryony, the zygote instead of giving rise to one embryo produces embryos by cleavage
3. According to Jeffrey (1895), in Erythronium americanum the "embryogenic mass" forms two or three embryos

Consider the following statements.
1. Fertilisation of the egg takes place inside the embryo sac.
2. Fertilised ovum form the embryo.
3. Endosperm is generally triploid.

Consider the following statements regarding the embryological evidences for evolution and choose the correct answer:
1. Algae are much advanced than mosses and ferns
2. Protonema of mosses resemble certain green algae
3. Both bryophytes and pteridophytes have ciliated sperms and require water for fertilization
4. Gymnosperms do not need water for fertilization
5. Cycads and Gingko, the primitive gymnosperms, have ciliated sperms like the pteridophytes
