Q. No.Match Column I [phase of growth] and Column II [cell characteristics] and choose the correct answer from the codes given:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| A. | Meristematic | a. | Increased vacuolation, new cell wall deposition |
| B. | Elongation | b. | Thin cellulosic wall with abundant plasmodesmatal connections |
| C. | Maturation | c. | Maximal wall thickening |
Codes
| A | B | C | |
| 1. | a | b | c |
| 2. | b | c | a |
| 3. | b | a | c |
| 4. | c | b | a |
The optimum temperature range for proper growth in most plants is:
| 1. | \(0^\circ C - 100^\circ C\) | 2. | \(15^\circ C - 20^\circ C\) |
| 3. | \(28^\circ C - 30^\circ C\) | 4. | Greater than \(45^\circ C\) |
| I: | The region shown as A to G is the zone of elongation. |
| II: | The portion of the axis which is undergoing the phase of maturation lies more distal to the phase of elongation. |
| 1. Only I | 2. Only II |
| 3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |
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 |
Plasticity in plant growth means that
1. Plant roots are extensible
2. Plant growth is dependent on the environment
3. Stems can extend
4. None of the above
| I: | is characteristic of living organism growing in a natural environment. |
| II: | is typical for all cells, tissues and organs of a plant. |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only II is correct |
| 3. | Both I and II are correct |
| 4. | Both I and II 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 |
Development is a term that includes all changes that a plant goes through during its life cycle:
| 1. | till germination of the seed |
| 2. | during its vegetative growth |
| 3. | from germination till flowering |
| 4. | from germination to senescence |
Difference in shapes of leaves produced in air and those produced in water represents heterophyllous development due to environment in:
| 1. | Cotton | 2. | Coriander |
| 3. | Larkspur | 4. | Butter cup |
Plants follow different pathways in response to environment or phases of life to form different kinds of structures. This ability is called:
| 1. | Plasticity | 2. | Norm of the reaction |
| 3. | Development noise | 4. | Acclimatisation |
