MCQ
What do the primary root and its branches together constitute?
  • A. Fibrous root system
  • B. Adventitious root system
  • C. Tap root system
  • D. Secondary root system
✅ Correct Answer: C
The primary root along with all its lateral branches (secondary, tertiary etc.) together form the tap root system, as seen in mustard plant.
MCQ
Assertion (A): The root cap protects the apical meristem from mechanical stress. Reason (R): Roots secrete plant growth regulators
  • A. Both A and R are true, and R explains A
  • B. Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A
  • C. A is true, but R is false
  • D. A is false, but R is true
✅ Correct Answer: B
The root cap prevents mechanical injury to the tender apex. The roots audio secrete plant growth regulators but they are not the reason why mechanical injury is prevented.
MCQ
what is the sequence of regions from apex to base in root tip?
  • A. Root cap → Region of maturation → Region of elongation → Region of meristematic activity
  • B. Root cap → Region of meristematic activity → Region of elongation → Region of maturation
  • C. Region of meristematic activity → Root cap → Region of elongation → Region of maturation
  • D. Root cap → Region of elongation → Region of meristematic activity → Region of maturation
✅ Correct Answer: B
The correct sequence from apex upwards: root cap at tip, followed by meristematic activity, then elongation, and finally maturation region.
