(i) Name the part marked 'A' in the diagram.

(ii) How dose 'A' reachese part 'B'?

(iii) State the importance of the part 'C'.

(iv) What happens to the part marked 'D' after fertilisation is over?

A student while observing an embryo of a pea seed in the laboratory listed various parts of the embryo as given below:

On examining the list the teacher remarked that only three parts are correct. Select three correct parts from the above list:

(a) Testa, Radicle, Cotyleddon

(b) Tegmen, Radicle, Micropyle

(c) Cotyledon, Plumule, Testa

(d) Radicle, Cotyledon, Plumule

Name the parts A, B and C shown in the following diagram and state one function of each.

A student has to perform the experiment "To identify the different parts of an embryo of a dicot seed." Select from the following an appropriate group of seeds:

Give one example of a unisexual flower.

Mention the changes a flower undergoes after fertilisation.

You are asked by your teacher to study the different parts of an embryo of a gram seed. Given below are the steps to be followed for the experiment:

I. Soak the gram seeds in plain water and keep them overnight.

II. Cut open a soaked seed and observe its different parts.

III. Take some dry gram seeds in a petri dish.

IV. Drain the excess water.

V. Cover the soaked seeds with a wet cotton cloth and leave them for a day.

The correct sequence of these steps is :

(A) III, I, V, IV, II

(B) III, I, II, IV, V

(C) III, IV, V, I, II

(D) III, I, IV, V, II

Write the names of those parts of a flower which serve the same function as the following do in the animals :

(i) testis,

(ii) sperm,

(iii) ovary,

(iv) egg
