MCQ
Why do lateral meristems like vascular cambium contribute to increase in girth and not length in dicots?
  • A. They produce secondary tissues
  • B. They are only active during early growth
  • C. They divide in the direction of longitudinal axis
  • D. They function only in apical regions
βœ… Correct Answer: A
Lateral meristems such as vascular cambium and cork cambium divide to add secondary xylem and phloem, contributing to girth.
MCQ
Which parameter is NOT commonly used to measure growth in plants?
  • A. Fresh weight
  • B. Age of the plant
  • C. Cell number
  • D. Volume
βœ… Correct Answer: B
Growth is measured by a variety of parameters... fresh weight, dry weight, length, area, volume and cell number.

MCQ
A plant leaf A and leaf B both increased by 5 cmΒ² in surface area. Which one has higher relative growth?
  • A. The larger leaf
  • B. The one with larger initial area
  • C. The one with smaller initial area
  • D. Both have equal growth
βœ… Correct Answer: C
Relative growth is proportional to initial sizeβ€”smaller starting size = higher relative increase.
MCQ
Match the Column
  • a) A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
  • b) A-1, B-3, C-2, D-4
  • c) A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
  • d) A-3, B-2, C-1, D-4
βœ… Correct Answer: D
Each phase matches directly with its cellular feature and position.
MCQ
1.Arithmetic growth follows exponential increase 2. In arithmetic growth, one daughter cell continues dividing 3. Sigmoid curve includes lag, log and stationary phases 4. Geometric growth is a reversible process
  • A. 1 and 3 only
  • B. 2 and 3 only
  • C. 2 and 4 only
  • D. 1 and 4 only
βœ… Correct Answer: B
Arithmetic involves only one dividing daughter cell; geometric is exponential; reversible growth is false.
