BOTANY

This botany category groups questions on plant life, from cell and tissue structure to physiology, reproduction and how plants are classified. It suits learners revising plant biology topics one at a time and anyone who wants to check how well the basics have stuck before moving on.

45 questions

Which of the following correctly describes a test cross?

A test cross helps determine an unknown genotype by crossing with a homozygous recessive. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following fungal groups is commonly known as 'club fungi'?

Basidiomycetes are known as 'club fungi' because of their club-shaped reproductive structures called basidia. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which compound is the primary electron donor in llular respiration?

NADH donates electrons to the electron transport chain, playing a crucial role in llular respiration. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following is a function of rRNA?

rRNA forms the structural and catalytic part of ribosomes, playing a key role in translation. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

In which ll organelle does photorespiration partly occur?

Photorespiration involves three organelles: chloroplast, peroxisome, and mitochondrion. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which plastid type is responsible for storing oils and fats?

Elaioplasts are specialized leucoplasts responsible for storing oils and fats in plant lls. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Morphology and Anatomy of Flowering Plants, Topic: Plant structure and tissue systems.

Which of the following statements about chromatin is correct?

Chromatin is a complex of DNA and histone proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic lls. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Morphology and Anatomy of Flowering Plants, Topic: Plant structure and tissue systems.

Which lls in plants regulate transpiration?

Guard lls regulate the opening and closing of stomata, thereby controlling transpiration in plants. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

What marks the end of telophase in mitosis?

At the end of telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around the newly separated daughter chromosomes. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
