Free Plant Growth And Development (Daily Quiz: 14) NEET Biology Questions & Answers with Detailed Explanation & Full Review

Free Plant Growth And Development (Daily Quiz: 14) Time:

Question-1

Which hormone is responsible for fruit ripening?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Ethylene is largely a growth inhibiting phytohormone but is also involved in some growth promotion activities. It has been established that ethylene is a fruit ripening hormone. Ethylene stimulates all the biochemical changes which take place at the time of fruit ripening.


Question-2

Ethephon accelerates abscission in flowers and fruits like

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-3

Parthenocarpic tomato fruits can be produced by

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Development of fruits without fertilization is called parthenocarpy and such fruits are called parthenocarpic fruits. Parthenocarpic fruits are seedless. A flower is emasculated and auxins are applied to the stigma of the flower, it forms a parthenocarpic fruit. For parthenocarpy induction by auxins, these should be applied after anthesis (first opening of flower) and by gibberellins, these should be applied earlier, i.e., at anthesis.


Question-4

Treatment of seed at low temperature under moist conditions to break its dormancy is called

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-5

A plant hormone used for inducing morphogenesis in plant tissue culture is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Cytokinins are growth promoting phytohomones. Cytokinin plays an important role in organ formation (morphogenesis) with auxin. Different auxin/ cytokinin ratio decides the development of root/shoot ratio. The major physiological function of cytokinin is to enhance cell division. If cytokinin to auxin ratio is low, then root formation takes place but if the ratio of cytokinin to auxin is high, then, there is formation of meristematic cells in the callus.
