17. 2) formation of endosperm before fertilization
Explanation :
Chapter: 3
Conifers are gymnosperms where endosperm
is formed before fertilization and hence is a
prefertilizea tissue. Grasses are angiosperms,
they exhibit double fertilization hence
endosperm is a post fertilized tissue.
18. 3) pericycle
Explanation :
Chapter: 6
Cells of pericycle undergo dedifferentiation
producing vascular cambium along with
conjuctive tissue forming a cambium ring.
Since pericycle and conjunctive tissue both are
differentiated tissues which de-differentiate to
form cambium ring, it is completely secondary
in origin.
19. 1) C1+2+(2) – Arachis
Explanation :
Chapter: 5
(1) Describes the characteristic corolla
C1+2+(2) of flowers belonging to family.
Fabaceae. Papilionaceous corolla
with 5 petals consisting of a
posterior standard, two lateral wing
petals, two anterior keel petals
(fused). Mulaithi is medicinal plant
of the same family.
(2) Describes the petals and
androecium of flowers of family
Solanaceae. The representation as
well as the example given are
wrong. Gloriosa belongs to family-
Liliaceae.
(3) Indicates perianth with 6 tepals
P3+3 arranged in 2 rows. Characteristic
feature of Family : Liliaceae.
Therefore, Belladona is a wrong
example as it belongs to family
Solanaceae
(4) Indiogofera belongs to Family :
G(2) Fabaceae which has
monocarpellary gynoecium with
superior ovary.
G – stands for gynoecium – 2

G – indicates superior ovary. For
Indigofera, it is G1
G(2) – describes gynoecium of
solanaceae.
20. 3) Enables lateral movement of proteins
Explanation :
Chapter: 8
Labelled part A is bilayer of phospholipids.
1. Proteins – act as carrier molecules for to
facilitate the transport of polar molecules
across the membrane.
2. Glycolipids – found attached to the outer
surface of the membrane which provides
membrane stability.
3. Phospholipids – they have quasi-fluid
nature (fluidity) which permits lateral
movement of proteins.
4. Glycoproteins and glycoplipids : they form
specific antigens or function as surface
receptors which are unique to different
cells. Hence, aide in cell recognition / cell
identification.
