Define the term inflorescence. Explain the basis for the different types of inflorescence in flowering plants.

Answer»

Inflorescence is the manner in which the flowers are arranged on the flowering axis. During the flowering season, the vegetative apex of the stem gets converted into a floral meristem. Based on whether the floral axis continues to grow or end in a flower, inflorescence is classified into racemose and cymose. In racemose inflorescence, the floral axis continues to grow and produces flowers laterally. On the other hand, in cymose inflorescence, the main axis terminates into a flower. Hence, it is limited in growth.

What is meant by emasculation? When and why does a plant breeder employ this technique?

Answer»

Emasculation is the process of removing anthers from bisexual flowers without affecting the female reproductive part (pistil), which is used in various plant hybridization techniques. Emasculation is performed by plant breeders in bisexual flowers to obtain the desired variety of a plant by crossing a particular plant with the desired pollen grain. To remove the anthers, the flowers are covered with a bag before they open. This ensures that the flower is pollinated by pollen grains obtained from desirable varieties only. Later, the mature, viable, and stored pollen grains are dusted on the bagged stigma by breeders to allow artificial pollination to take place and obtain the desired plant variety

Explain the role of tapetum in the formation pollen-grain wall.

Answer»

Tapetum is the innermost layer of the microsporangium. It provides nourishment to the developing pollen grains. During microsporogenesis, the cells of tapetum produce various enzymes, hormones, amino acids, and other nutritious material required for the development of pollen grains. It also produces the exine layer of the pollen grains, which is composed of the sporopollenin.

Heterospory and seed habit ale often discussed in relation to a structure called(a) spathe(b) brad(c) petiole(d) ligule

Answer»

Correct option  (b) brad 

Explanation:

Heterospory and seed habit are discussed mostly with respect to ligule. Development of two types of spores (microspores and megaspores) is called heterospory. Though all seed-bearing plants are heterosporous, it evolved in some pteridophytes. In early heterosporous plants, megaspores were released from the parent. 

But in seed plants, these are retained and fertilised to become seed. This habit is seen in Selaginella which bears a small multicellular scale-like structure called ligule at the base of leaf on adaxial side.

What is Cancer? How is a Cancer cell different from normal cell? How do normal cells attain Cancerous nature?

Answer»

An abnormal and uncontrolled division of cells is termed as Cancer.
The Cancerous cells are different from the normal cells in the following ways.

Cancer CellsNormal Cells
1. Cancer cells divide in an uncontrolled manner.1. Normal cells divide in a controlled manner.
2. The cells do not show contact inhibition2. The cells show contact inhibition.
3. Life span is indefinite3. Life span is definite.

In our body, the growth and differentiation of cells is highly controlled and regulated. The normal cells show a property called contact inhibition.

The surrounding cells inhibit uncontrolled growth and division of cells.
The normal cells lose this property and become cancerous cells giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Transformation of normal cells into cancerous cells is induced by some physical, chemical and biological agents (carcinogens).
