Practice questions on Plant Biology - Reproduction — with answers

Try each question first, then open the answer. Explanations are included.

1. What is the process of transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower called?

  1. AFertilization
  2. BPollination
  3. CGermination
  4. DDispersal
Show answer

Answer: B

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male part (anther) to the female part (stigma) of a flower, a prerequisite for fertilization.

2. What term describes pollination where pollen is transferred within the same flower or to another flower on the same plant?

  1. ASelf-pollination
  2. BWind pollination
  3. CWater pollination
  4. DCross-pollination
Show answer

Answer: A

Self-pollination occurs when pollen from a flower fertilizes the same flower or another flower on the same plant.

3. What term describes pollination where pollen is transferred from one plant to a genetically different plant of the same species?

  1. ACross-pollination
  2. BGeitonogamy
  3. CSelf-pollination
  4. DAutogamy
Show answer

Answer: A

Cross-pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from the flower of one plant to the flower of a different, genetically distinct plant.

4. What is the male reproductive part of a flower, consisting of the anther and filament, called?

  1. APetal
  2. BSepal
  3. CStamen
  4. DPistil (Carpel)
Show answer

Answer: C

The stamen is the male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the anther (which produces pollen) and the filament (supporting stalk).

5. What is the female reproductive part of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary, called?

  1. APistil (Carpel)
  2. BPetal
  3. CSepal
  4. DStamen
Show answer

Answer: A

The pistil (carpel) is the female reproductive organ of a flower, comprising the stigma (receives pollen), style (connecting tube), and ovary (contains ovules).
