Quiz_Angiosperm

Explanation:Euglena is a unique organism that exhibits characteristics of both animals and plants. It can photosynthesize like plants but also move and ingest food like animals.

Explanation:Capsella bursa-pastoris, a flowering plant, exhibits a diplontic life cycle where the diploid sporophyte is the dominant phase, and the haploid gametophyte is reduced to the gametes.

Explanation:In Hutchinson’s classification system, the total number of families of angiosperms is 411, reflecting his detailed and comprehensive approach to classifying flowering plants.

Explanation:The generic name of mango is “Mangifera.” In binomial nomenclature, the genus name is the first part of the scientific name, and for mango, it is “Mangifera,” while “indica” is the specific epithet.

Explanation:Bentham and Hooker’s classification system is considered natural because it is based on the overall similarities and differences in the morphological characteristics of plants, rather than on a single trait or numerical data.

Explanation:Ex situ conservation involves preserving endangered species outside their natural habitats, and germplasm banks are facilities that store genetic material, such as seeds or tissue samples, for future use in conservation and restoration efforts.

Explanation:Tracheophyta includes vascular plants such as Pteridophyta (ferns), Gymnosperms (conifers), and Angiosperms (flowering plants).

Explanation:In tracheophytes (vascular plants), meiosis is always sporogenic, meaning it occurs during the formation of spores, which then develop into the gametophyte generation.

Explanation:According to the principle of priority in nomenclature, the valid name of a species is the one under which it was first described, ensuring consistency and stability in naming.

Explanation:Carl Linnaeus introduced the binomial system of nomenclature, which assigns each species a two-part scientific name consisting of the genus and species names.
