Q31. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called runners, produced by the parent plant?
a) Runner formation
b) Stolonization
c) Runner propagation
d) Adventitious proliferation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: c) Runner propagation
Explanation: Runner propagation is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called runners, which are produced by the parent plant. Runners are elongated stems that grow horizontally along the ground and produce new plants at nodes, allowing for the vegetative propagation of genetically identical offspring.
Q32. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called runners, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Runner propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Vegetative proliferation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Runner propagation
Explanation: Runner propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called runners detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Runners are elongated stems that grow horizontally along the ground and produce new plants at nodes, facilitating clonal propagation.
Q33. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called offsets, produced by the parent plant?
a) Offshoot formation
b) Propagation by offsets
c) Adventitious proliferation
d) Runner production
Show Answer
Correct Answer: b) Propagation by offsets
Explanation: Propagation by offsets is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called offsets, which are produced by the parent plant. Offsets are genetically identical to the parent and can develop into independent plants, contributing to clonal reproduction and expansion of plant populations.
Q34. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called offsets, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Offshoot propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Offset propagation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: c) Offset propagation
Explanation: Offset propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called offsets detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Offsets are small, genetically identical shoots that arise from the base of the parent plant and can root and grow into independent plants.
Q35. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called bulbils, produced by the parent plant?
a) Bulbil formation
b) Fragmentation
c) Vegetative proliferation
d) Adventitious propagation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Bulbil formation
Explanation: Bulbil formation is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called bulbils, which are produced by the parent plant. Bulbils are small, dormant buds capable of developing into new plants when detached and provided with suitable conditions, contributing to clonal propagation.
Q36. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called bulbils, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Bulbil propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Bulbil formation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Bulbil propagation
Explanation: Bulbil propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called bulbils detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Bulbils are small, dormant buds capable of developing into new plants when detached and provided with suitable conditions, facilitating clonal propagation.
Q37. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called tubers, produced by the parent plant?
a) Tuberization
b) Tuberal propagation
c) Tuber formation
d) Adventitious proliferation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: b) Tuberal propagation
Explanation: Tuberal propagation is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called tubers, which are produced by the parent plant. Tubers are storage organs containing meristematic cells capable of giving rise to roots and shoots, allowing for the propagation of genetically identical offspring.
Q38. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called tubers, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Tuberal propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Tuber formation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Tuberal propagation
Explanation: Tuberal propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called tubers detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Tubers are storage organs containing meristematic cells capable of giving rise to roots and shoots, allowing for clonal propagation.
Q39. What is the term for the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called plantlets, produced by the parent plant?
a) Plantlet formation
b) Offshoot propagation
c) Adventitious proliferation
d) Runner production
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Plantlet formation
Explanation: Plantlet formation is the process in which new individuals develop from specialized structures called plantlets, which are produced by the parent plant. Plantlets are miniature versions of the parent plant and can develop into independent plants when detached, contributing to clonal reproduction.
Q40. Which method of asexual reproduction involves the detachment of specialized structures called plantlets, allowing them to develop into new plants?
a) Plantlet propagation
b) Fragmentation
c) Vegetative proliferation
d) Spore formation
Show Answer
Correct Answer: a) Plantlet propagation
Explanation: Plantlet propagation is a method of asexual reproduction where specialized structures called plantlets detach from the parent plant and develop into new individuals. Plantlets are miniature versions of the parent plant and can root and grow into independent plants when provided with suitable conditions.
