Question : A student of taxonomy was puzzled when told by his professor to look for a key to identify a plant. He went to his friend to clarify what 'Key' the professor was referring to ? What would the friend explain to him ?

Answer»

Solution :The key for identification of plants is a taxonomic key. It is an important taxonomic aid. A key is compared of two contrasting characters. The characters generally OCCUR in pairs and such a pair is called a coagulate. While studying a key either of contrasting character is rejected or ACCEPTED. Thus a choice is made between the two contrasting character in a key. Each statement in the key is called a lead. If is important to note that a key is usually analytical in nature. Moreover, separate keys need to be used for different taxonomic categories. Keys help in step by step identification of a particular organism. For example, presence or absence of notochord GIVES us a CLUE whether, the organism belongs to sub phylum Vertebrata or Invertebrata. Similarly presence or absence of lungs tell us if the organism belongs to group tetrapoda or pisces.

Question : A seed enclose three generations one within the others. Justify the statement.

Answer»

Solution :A seed enclose three generations one within the other.
1.The OVULE or MEGASPORANGIUM formed from the parent sporophyte is diploid (2n).
2. An ovule consist of integument and nucleus. Both of them are diploid and belongs to SPOROPHYTIC generation.
3. The megaspores developing within the ovule is formed by meiosis and is haploid (n). The megaspore develops into haploid female gametophyte which develops an egg (n).
4. This represents haploid (n) gametophytic generation. The egg is then fertilized by a male gamete to form diploid (2n) zygote.
5. The zygote then develops into an embryo or future sporophyte (2n).
