.
9. Diagram of Anther lobe is given below.

10. Which type of endosperm is seen in coconut water and coconut kernel?
11. Raju planted one Orange seed in a pot, but to his surprise he observed three seedlings
sprouting from it.
Can you help him to explain the reason of this phenomenon?
12. Wheat is an albuminous seed and groundnut is an ex-albuminous seed.
Why are they called so?
,13. A. What are pollen banks?
B. What is its importance?
PART III
A. Each carries 3 scores.
14. A. Point out any two features of pollen grains of water pollinated flower.
B. Assign the following plants with respect to the type of pollination in the table given
below.
a. Water hyacinth b. Vallisneria
c. Yucca d. Corn/Maize
Wind pollination Water pollination Insect pollination
15. a. Complete the developmental stages of a Dicot embryo starting from zygote to mature embryo.
Zygote → Proembryo →_____(a)_______ → _____(b)____ → Mature embryo.
b. Label the parts A, B, C & D in the given figure of mature embryo.
16. Give reasons for the following:-
a. In cleistogamous flowers seed-set is assured even in the absence of pollinators.
b. Emasculation is necessary in artificial hybridisation of a bisexual flower.
c. Pollen grains are well preserved as fossils.
17. Observe the figure given below,
a. Identify the structure.
b. Label the parts marked as A, B, C & D.
c. What is the function of the structure marked as D.?
, 18. Flowering plants have developed many devices to discourage self pollination
and to encourage cross pollination.
Explain any three such outbreeding devices.
19. a) Construct a flow chart showing the development of male gametes within the
anther.
(Hint: Vegetative cell, Microspore tetrad, Microspore mother cell, Generative cell,)
b). Since two types of fusions takes place in an embryo sac the phenomenon is termed double
fertilisation, an event unique to flowering plants.
1) What are the two types of fusions?
2) Write is the ploidy of the products of double fertilisation?
20. a) A diagrammatic view of a typical anatropous ovule is given below.
Label the parts A, B, C, & D.
b) Explain the Monosporic type of embryo sac development in flowering plants.
