Free Plant Growth And Development (Daily Quiz: 15) NEET Biology Questions & Answers with Detailed Explanation & Full Review

Free Plant Growth And Development (Daily Quiz: 15) Time:

Question-1

During seed germination, its stored food is mobilized by

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Gibberellins are plant growth substances chemically related to terpenes and occurring naturally in plants and fungi. They promote elongation of stems, e.g., bolting in cabbage plants and the mobilization of food reserves in germinating seeds. They are influential in inducing flowering and fruit development.


Question-2

Auxin regulates cell growth by which of the following mechanisms ?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

Altering the plasticity allows for permanent changes in cell wall shape. The cell wall must increase in size in order for cell growth to occur.


Question-3

The wavelength of light absorbed by $P_r$ form of phytochrome is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Phytochrome is the photoreceptor pigment that controls flowering. It has two forms as $P_r$ and $P_{fr}$. $P_r$ is bluish phytochrome and it absorbs light at 660 to 680 nm of wavelength. $P_{fr}$ is (far red) yellowish green and absorbs light at 730 nm of wavelength.


Question-4

Cells of maturative phase show

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)


Question-5

Gibberellic acid induces flowering

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Gibberellins are growth promoting phytohormones. Some of plants species flower only if the light period exceeds a critical length, and others flower only if this period is shorter than some critical length. Gibberellins can substitute for the long-day requirement in some species, showing an interaction with light.
