offset
In water lettuce (pistia), vegetative propagation occurs by offsets. offsets are shorter and thicker small runners growing in the axil of a leaf. It bears a cluster of leaves in rosette manner above the water level and adventitious roots below the water level arising from all nodes.
The scutellum observed in a grain of Wheat or maize is comparable to which part of the seed in other monocotyledons?
Cotyledon
Endosperm
Aleurone layer
Aleurone layer
A.
Cotyledon
In wheat or maize (family-Poaceae), the scutellum is thought to be a modified cotyledon or seed leaf.
Which one o0f the following is monoecious?
Marchantia
Cycas
Pinus
Pinus
C.
Pinus
Pinus is a monoecious gymnospermic plant, ie, both male and female cones occur on the same plant.
Marchantia (bryophyte), Cycas (gymnosperm) and date palm (angiosperm) all are dioecious plants, ie, male and female plants are separate.

C.
Fucus
Fucus belongs to class-Phaeophyceae, in which reserve food is found in form of laminarin, mannitol and oil.
Chara belongs to class- Chlorophyceae, in which reserve food is found in form of starch and oil.
Porphyra and Grachillaria belong to class- Rhodophyceae, in which reserve food is found in form of floridean starch and Galactan- SO4 polymers
The correct sequence of plants in a hydrosere is
Oak → Lantana → scirpus→Pistia→Hydrilla→Volvox
Volvox → Hydrilla → Pistia → Scirpus → Lantana → Oak
Pista → Volvox → Scirpus → Hydrilla → Oak → Lantana
Pista → Volvox → Scirpus → Hydrilla → Oak → Lantana
B.
Volvox → Hydrilla → Pistia → Scirpus → Lantana → Oak
The various stages in a hydrosere are well studied in ponds. Pools or lakes. The various stages of hydrosere are:
Phytoplankton stage, eg, some blue-green algae, green algae (volvox), diatoms and bacteria, etc.
Rooted submerged stage, eg Hydrilla Vallisneria, etc.
Floating stage, eg, Nelumbo, Nymphaea, etc. Some free-floating species are pisita, Azolla, Lemna, etc.
Red -swamp stage, eg, species of Cyperaceae and Gramineae.
Forest stage, eg, Tropical rain forests, mixed forests of Almus, Acer, Quercus (oak), tropical deciduous forests.
