Class 7 Science Chapter 8 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].

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

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.

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.

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. 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. 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.

In the presence of water and nutrients, algae grow and multiply rapidly by fragmentation. An alga breaks up into two or more fragments, each of which grow into new individuals. This process covers a large area in a short period of time.

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.

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.

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.

Ovary is the part of female reproductive organ of the plant. It may contain one or many of ovules in different flowers. The ovule in turn contains the female gametes of egg.

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.

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.
