NeetVictoryQuestion 1: Double Fertilization
The single cotyledon of a grass embryo is called the:
- A coleorhiza
- B coleoptile
- C scutellum
- D testa
Answer: C. scutellum
Why: The plumule is protected by the coleoptile, and the radicle by the coleorhiza.

8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.
Question 2: Structure of Anther and Pollen Grain
The outer wall of a pollen grain, made of sporopollenin, is called the:
- A intine
- B exine
- C tapetum
- D tegmen
Answer: B. exine
Why: The exine is composed of sporopollenin, one of the most resistant organic substances known, which is why pollen grains fossilise well.
Question 3: Double Fertilization
The persistent nucellus found in seeds like black pepper and beet is called the:
- A pericarp
- B endosperm
- C perisperm
- D testa
Answer: C. perisperm
Why: It is stored food outside the embryo sac.
Question 4: Structure of Anther and Pollen Grain
The male gametophyte in flowering plants is the:
- A embryo sac
- B pollen grain
- C anther wall
- D ovule
Answer: B. pollen grain
Why: The pollen grain represents the mature male gametophyte in flowering plants.
Question 5: Double Fertilization
The oldest viable seed known is that of:
- A Phoenix dactylifera (about 100 years old)
- B wheat
- C rice
- D Lupinus arcticus, about 10 000 years old
Answer: D. Lupinus arcticus, about 10 000 years old
Why: The date palm seed was about 2000 years old.
Question 6: Structure of Anther and Pollen Grain
The pollen grains of many plants remain viable for months, but the pollen of rice and wheat lose viability within:
- A 30 minutes
- B 30 days
- C 3 years
- D 1 week
Answer: A. 30 minutes
Why: Pollen from the families Rosaceae, Leguminosae and Solanaceae remains viable for months.
Question 7: Double Fertilization
In fruits such as the apple, strawberry and cashew, the edible part develops from the:
- A thalamus, and so they are called false fruits
- B ovary wall only
- C seed coat
- D endosperm
Answer: A. thalamus, and so they are called false fruits
Why: True fruits develop only from the ovary.
Question 8: Structure of Anther and Pollen Grain
Wind-pollinated flowers typically have:
- A bright petals and nectar
- B feathery stigmas and light, non-sticky pollen grains
- C large, sticky pollen
- D scent to attract moths
Answer: B. feathery stigmas and light, non-sticky pollen grains
Why: Maize and grasses show these adaptations, with a large number of pollen grains produced.
