Q. No.All the following contribute to an increase in girth of dicots and gymnosperms except:
| 1. | Apical meristem | 2. | Lateral meristems |
| 3. | Vascular cambium | 4. | Cork-cambium |
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 |
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 |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
| Assertion (A): | Plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life. |
| Reason (R): | Plants have meristems at certain locations in their body. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
1. Initial size at the beginning of the period
2. base of natural logarithms
3. growth rate/elongation per unit time
4. time of growth
Formation of interfascicular cambium and cork cambium is possible most importantly because of:
| 1. | Differentiation | 2. | Dedifferentiation |
| 3. | Redifferentiation | 4. | Reverse differentiation |
In plants, the living differentiated cells, have regain the capacity of division under certain conditions. This phenomenon is termed as:
| 1. | Dedifferentiation | 2. | Proto-differentiation |
| 3. | Redifferentiation | 4. | Secondary differentiation |
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 |
