Identify the incorrect statement regarding the arithmetic growth?
1. | Following mitosis, both daughter cells continue to divide |
2. | Can be exemplified by root elongating at a constant rate |
3. | On plotting the length of the organ against time, a linear curve is obtained |
4. | Mathematically it is expressed as |
The shape of the growth curve characteristic of a living organism growing in natural environment is:
1. | Linear | 2. | Sigmoid |
3. | Hyperbola | 4. | Bell shaped |
Plant growth and further development is intimately linked to water status of the plant because:
A. Turgidity of cells helps in extension growth
B. It provides medium for enzymatic activity
1. Both A and B are correct
2. Only A is correct
3. Only B is correct
4. Both A and B are incorrect
To differentiate into a tracheary element, a cell would:
1. Gain protoplasm
2. Become multinucleate
3. Assimilate lot of collagen and elastin
4. Develop lignocellulosic secondary cell wall
Formation of interfascicular cambium and cork cambium is possible most importantly because of:
1. Differentiation | 2. Dedifferentiation |
3. Redifferentiation | 4. Reverse differentiation |
Plants follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to form different kinds of structures. This ability is called:
1. Efficiency index | 2. Plasticity |
3. Norm of reaction | 4. Developmental noise |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
PGR | Chemical nature | |
1. | Auxins | Indole compounds |
2. | Cytokinin | Pyrimidine derivatives |
3. | ABA | Carotenoid derivative |
4. | Gibberellic acid | Terpenes |
Identify the plant growth regulator that, though is largely an inhibitor but, can be placed in both plant growth promoter and plant growth inhibitor groups?
1. | Auxins | 2. | Gibberellins |
3. | Ethylene | 4. | Abscisic acid |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Scientist | PGR discovery | |
1. | Cousins | Ethylene |
2. | Kurosawa | Gibberellin |
3. | Skoog and Miller | ABA |
4. | F. W. Went | Auxin |
Auxin does not:
1. Help to initiate rooting in stem cuttings
2. Promote female flowers in cucumbers
3. Prevent fruit and leaf drop in early stages
4. Promote abscission of older mature leaves and fruits
