  1. (i), (ii) and (iii)

  2. (i), (ii) and (v)

  3. (i), (ii), (iii) and (v)

  4. (i), (iii), (v)

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Only Nicotiana tobacum, Brinjal, and Capsicum belong to the family Solanaceae.

So, the correct option is '(i), (iii), (v)'.

If a biologist is to nomenclate a similar species, he will study.

  1. Syntype

  2. Isotype

  3. Neotype

  4. Paratype

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Isotype (in plant scientific classification) A plant example that is a copy of or fundamentally the same as the sort example and can be utilized as a source of perspective example if the sort example is lost.

So, the correct option is 'Isotype'.

  1. Rattus rattus

  2. Acacia nilotica indica

  3. Brassica oleracea capitata

  4. Acacia nilotica nilotica

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

An intraspecific name in which the species epithet is repeated is called autonym.

Acaccia is a perennial tree and also called as Babul, kikar, and prickly acacia.
So, the correct option is 'Acacia nilotica indica'.

The meristem that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plant is ____________.

biology water absorption and ascent of sap in plants transport of water across plants habit of plants plant classifications

  1. Procambium

  2. Intercalary meristem

  3. Phellogen

  4. Apical meristem

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A. Procambium is a plant tissue that came from the apical meristem which made the vascular bundles i.e, the xylem and the phloem.

B. Intercalary meristems are residual apical meristems that exist at the nodes and internodes which increases the length of the plant.

C. Phellogen is also famous as cork cambium which is a lateral meristem. It increases the girth of the plant.

D. The apical meristem is placed at the root and shoots tip. It helps in the primary growth of a planet by increasing the length of the plant.

The lateral meristem which occurs on the lateral side of the longitudinal axis stem. It is parallel to the longitudinal axis and also responsible for increasing the girth of a plant (secondary growth).

So, the correct answer is 'Phellogen'.

The correct option is C.
