Class 7 Science Chapter 8 MCQ

Seeds of drumstick and maple have wing which help them to be easily carried away by wind. Various seeds and fruits have some special feature due to which they are carried away in a particular way (by wind, water or animal).

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.

Budding is an asexual method of reproduction. In budding, a small part of the body of the parent plant grows out as a bulb-like projection called “bud” which then detached and becomes a new plant. Yeast is a single celled plant which reproduce by budding.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

Spore formation is an asexual method of reproduction in plants, spores are not seeds. 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. An alga, reproduces by the asexual method of fragmentation.

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

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.

Some plants reproduce themselves from leaves. The leaves of some plants developed buds on them. Such leaves having buds can be used as a structure of vegetative reproduction in plants. 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.

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].

The transfer of pollen grains from anther of a stamen to stigma of a pistil is called pollination. It can occur by two ways as self-pollination (transfer occur in same flower or another flower of same plant) and cross-pollination (transfer occurring between flowers of two separate but similar plants. Insects, water and wind are agents of pollination.
