Hi bobbym,

#5490 and #5491 are correct! Excellent!

Neat work!

#5496. Name the botanical term : (the Latin word meaning "thread" (originally thread of the warp, in weaving)). Typically consists of a stalk called the filament and an anther which contains microsporangia. Most commonly anthers are two-lobed and are attached to the filament either at the base or in the middle portion. The sterile tissue between the lobes is called the connective. A pollen grain develops from a microspore in the microsporangium and contains the male gametophyte.

#5497. Name the botanical term : The term (meaning "sitting", used in the sense of "resting on the surface") is a characteristic of plant parts which have no stalk. Flowers or leaves are borne directly from the stem or peduncle, and thus lack a petiole or pedicel. The leaves of the vast majority of monocotyledons lack petioles

Re: General Quiz

Hi bobbym,

and

The Answer #5497 is 90% correct. Marvelous!

#5498. name the botanical term : The pollination of flowering plants by birds. This coevolutionary association is derived from insect pollination (entomophily) and is particularly well developed in some parts of the world, especially in the tropics and on some island chains. The association involves several distinctive plant adaptations forming a "pollination syndrome". The plants typically have colourful, often red, flowers with long tubular structures holding ample nectar and orientations of the stamen and stigma that ensure contact with the pollinator. Birds involved in this tend to be specialist nectarivores with brushy tongues, long bills, capable of hovering flight or are light enough to perch on the flower structures.

#5499. Name the Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern biological naming scheme of binomial nomenclature (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778). He is known as the father of modern taxonomy, and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology. He was born in the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden.
