Q3. Prop roots are the modification for
Solution
(a)Prop or Pillar Roots They are thick pillar-like adventitious root, which grow from and support heavy horizontal branches of banyan tree. Initially, these roots are areal and hygroscopic. As the root reaches to the soil, they become thick and pillar-like

Q4. Which of the following is a correct statement?
Solution
(d) The orchids have epiphytic roots, which are covered by a hygroscopic velamen tissue. The rootlets of sweet potato are irregularly swollen they are described as tuberous. The stilt roots are adventitious roots arising from the nodes of the mina stem to provide more support to the plant, e.g., Pandanus, Rhizophora.

Solution
(b) In basal placentation, ovary is bicarpellary syncarpous and unilocular, and a single ovule is borne at t5he base of ovary, e.g., marigold.
(b) In basal placentation, ovary is bicarpellary syncarpous and unilocular, and a single ovule is borne at t5he base of ovary, e.g., marigold.
Q9.In which of the following, parthenocarpy makes no sense?
Solution
(d) Parthenocarpy (Gr. parthenos=virgin (false); karpos=fruit) is the production and development of seedless fruits without fertilization of an egg in the ovary. Presently, a number of fruit varieties have been altered genetically to undergo parthenocarpic development besides, hormonal treatment has been also found to induce parthenocarpy in certain plants. In banana, orange, lemon, guava, etc, seedless fruits are useful as there is no use of seeds in eating them. But in pomegranate, it is the seed coat of the seed, which is fleshy and edible. So, fruit is useless without the seeds in it and thus, parthenocarpy makes no sense in pomegranate.
