Worked practice questions

Deuteromycetes are called imperfect fungi because they lack a known:

  1. Simple hypha
  2. Sexual stage
  3. Spore case
  4. Septate wall
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Sexual stage

1. Only asexual and vegetative phases were known. 2. When a sexual form was found the fungus was moved. 3. So the class is defined by that missing stage. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 2 'Biological Classification'_

Insectivorous plants such as the Venus fly trap are:

  1. Purely heterotrophic
  2. Purely hydrophytic
  3. Partly heterotrophic
  4. Partly hydrophytic
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Partly heterotrophic

1. Kingdom Plantae is defined by chlorophyll. 2. A few members also catch and digest insects. 3. Those members are partly heterotrophic. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 2 'Biological Classification'_

The alternation of haploid and diploid phases in plants is called:

  1. Alternation of germinations
  2. Alteration of generations
  3. Alteration of germinations
  4. Alternation of generations
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Alternation of generations

1. A plant life cycle has a sporophytic diploid phase. 2. It also has a gametophytic haploid phase. 3. Their alternation is called alternation of generations. _Source: syllabus Biology, Ch 2 'Biological Classification'_
