Consider statements about plant reproduction: 1. Pollination is the transfer of pollen to the stigma. 2. Double fertilization is unique to gymnosperms. 3. Seeds develop from ovules. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about plant reproduction: 1. Pollination is the transfer of pollen to the stigma. 2. Double fertilization is unique to gymnosperms. 3. Seeds develop from ovules. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pollination is the mechanism of transferring pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed and the ovary into a fruit. Double fertilization, involving syngamy and triple fusion, is a unique characteristic of angiosperms, not gymnosperms. Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #2
The type of reproduction that involves only one parent and no gamete fusion is:
A. Cross-pollination
B. Sexual reproduction
C. Fertilization
D. Asexual reproduction

The process of protein synthesis on ribosomes is called:
A. Translation
B. Replication
C. Transformation
D. Transcription

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Translation is the ribosome-mediated synthesis of a polypeptide chain according to the mRNA template. tRNA molecules bring amino acids, and peptide bonds form. Replication duplicates DNA, transcription synthesizes RNA from DNA, transformation is genetic uptake by bacteria.
