Class 7 Science Chapter 12 MCQ

Most of the fungi and flowerless plant (such as ferns and mosses) reproduce asexually by means of spores. The common bread mould plant which grows on a piece of stale bread is a fungus. The common bread mould plant on rhizopus fungus reproduces by the method of spore formation.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Ovules contain the female gamete or female sex cells of the plant. The ovary contains one or more ovules. Each ovule contains only one female gamete of the plant. The female gamete or female sex cells of the plant which is present inside the ovule is called egg.

Some plants reproduce themselves from leaves. One example of a plant which can reproduce from its leaves is “bryophyllum”. When a mature leaf of the “bryophyllum” plant falls on the ground, they grow into a new plant.

The axillary buds can give rise to new plants. Vegetative buds of a plant are used as a means of asexual reproduction for producing new plants.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Most plants have roots, stems and leaves. These are called the vegetative parts of a plant. After a certain period of growth, most plants bear flowers. The flowers perform the function of reproduction in plants. Flowers are the reproductive parts of a plant.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The process in which the male gamete present in pollen grain fuses or joins with the female gamete present in ovule to form a new cell called zygote, is called fertilization. After fertilization two main things happen. As the ovule present in ovary grows to become a seed. After fertilization ovary of a flower develops and becomes a fruit (with seeds inside it). Thus, fruit is the ripened ovary of a flower.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The flowers perform the function of sexual reproduction in plant. After fertilization, the ovary grows into a fruit and seeds develop from the ovules.

The main parts of a flower are receptacle, sepals, petals, stamen and pistil. Receptacle is the base of flower where all parts of a flower are attached. Sepals is the green leaf like parts of a flower which can be seen in a form of bud. Petals are the colorful part of flower. Stamen is the male reproductive organ of a plant. Pistil present in the center of a flower. It is the female reproductive organ of the plant. The stamen made of two parts “filament and anther”. And anther makes the “pollen grains” and stores them. This further transfer of pollen grains makes pollination, fertilization and getting a fruit (with seed inside it). And again this seed germinate into a new plant which bears flowers after certain time.

An alga, spirogyra reproduce by the asexual method of reproduction called fragmentation. But yeast reproduces by budding.

Stamen is the male reproductive organ of the plant whereas stigma is the female reproductive organ of the plant.

Thus, fruit is the ripened ovary of a flower.

The breaking up of the body of a plant into two or more pieces on maturing, each of which subsequently grows to form a new plant, is called fragmentation. Spirogyra is a green filamentous alga plant which is found in ponds, lakes and slow-moving streams. Spirogyra reproduces by the asexual method of reproduction called fragmentation.

Stamen is the male reproductive organ of a plant. Pistil present in the center of a flower. It is the female reproductive organ of the plant. The stamen made of two parts “filament and anther”. And anther makes the “pollen grains” and stores them. Pistil is the female reproductive organ of the plant. A pistil is made of three parts; stigma, style and ovary. The ovary makes ovules and stores them. Ovule contain the female gametes or female sex cells of the plant. Thus, “anther and ovary” are the parts that produce male and female gametes respectively.

Cutting are a means of asexual reproduction in plants. The new plant formed from a cutting is exactly similar to the parent plants. The plants like rose, money plant, grapes, sugar cane, bananas, cactus can be grown by cutting method or by using stem cutting or branch cutting. But maize or corn is a plant belonging to the family of grasses. It does not flower readily and seed production is unusual except in its native habitat. Under natural conditions, maize reproduces only by seed production.

For the male gamete to be able to combine with the female gamete, it is necessary that first the pollen grains from the anther of stamen of a flower should be carried to the stigma of pistil. The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of pistil is called pollination. When pollination is done by insects such as bees and butterflies, called cross-pollination.

When a seed is sown in the moist soil, it begins to grow and called germination. And in this stage, the seed coats splits (as tiny root grows) downward and (the shoot grows) upwards. The seedling grows further and ultimately forms a new plant. And after a certain period, the plant bears flowers once again.

The seeds and fruits dispersed by wind either have wing like structures or they have hair or they are very small and light, which helps them to be easily carried away by the blowing wind. Such as the seed of drumstick plant, the seeds of madar plant, the plants like grasses and orchids have very small and light seeds which can be easily blown away by the wind for dispersal. The seeds of water lily plant and coconut plant are dispersed by water.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].
