BOTANY

This category brings together botany questions on plant life, including plant structure and tissues, classification, physiology and reproduction. It is a practical way to revise the plant biology part of your syllabus and see which topics you can recall confidently and which need another pass.

45 questions

Which type of reproduction is observed in yeast?

Yeast reproduces asexually by budding, where a new ll forms as an outgrowth of the parent ll. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which naturalist observed the species-area relationship?

Alexander von Humboldt observed that species richness increases with explored area, but only up to a limit. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following statements about metaphase is incorrect?

During metaphase, the nuclear membrane remains absent; it reforms during telophase. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following ecosystems has the highest biodiversity?

Tropical rainforests have the highest biodiversity due to their stable climate and high solar energy input. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

What is the term for the capacity of plant lls to regenerate a whole plant?

Totipotency is the ability of a single ll to regenerate an entire organism, a key principle in plant tissue culture. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

What type of fruit is a mango?

Mango is classified as a drupe, with a fleshy mesocarp and a hard endocarp protecting the seed. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following correctly describes multiple allelism?

In multiple allelism, a gene has more than two possible alleles in a population, but each individual inherits only two. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

What is the primary reason for the high biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest?

The Amazon Rainforest has high biodiversity due to its stable climate and high solar energy input, which supports productivity. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which step of respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of a ll?

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and leads to the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.
