Sample AP Intermediate Botany (BIEAP) Practice Questions

1Which of the following is considered the basic unit of taxonomic classification?
A.Species
B.Kingdom
C.Genus
D.Family
Explanation: In the Linnaean hierarchy used in Intermediate Botany, the species is the basic unit of classification. Higher ranks (genus, family, order, class, phylum/division, kingdom) group related species.
2ICBN (botanical nomenclature code as taught at Intermediate level) primarily deals with nomenclature of:
A.Animals
B.Plants
C.Bacteria only
D.Viruses only
Explanation: The International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN; modern botanical naming is governed by the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants) sets rules for naming plants (and traditionally algae and fungi in botany texts). Intermediate Botany stresses plant nomenclature codes separately from animal codes.
3In Whittaker’s five-kingdom classification, fungi are separated from plants mainly because fungi:
A.Lack cell walls
B.Are always unicellular
C.Are heterotrophic absorbers and have chitinous walls
D.Perform oxygenic photosynthesis
Explanation: Fungi are placed in their own kingdom because they are heterotrophic (absorptive nutrition) and typically have chitin in cell walls, unlike photosynthetic plants with cellulose walls. Intermediate Botany contrasts mode of nutrition and wall chemistry across kingdoms.
4Viruses are considered acellular because they:
A.Have both DNA and RNA always
B.Always possess 80S ribosomes
C.Are classified under Kingdom Monera
D.Lack a cellular organization and replicate only inside living hosts
Explanation: Viruses lack cellular structure (no cytoplasm or free-living ribosomes as independent cells) and are obligate intracellular parasites that multiply only in living host cells. Intermediate texts place viruses outside the five kingdoms as acellular entities.
5Lichens represent a symbiotic association typically between:
A.An alga (or cyanobacterium) and a fungus
B.A bryophyte and a pteridophyte
C.A bacterium and a virus
D.A gymnosperm and an angiosperm
Explanation: Lichens are composite organisms formed by a symbiotic partnership of a photosynthetic partner (alga or cyanobacterium, the phycobiont) and a fungus (mycobiont). Intermediate Botany highlights lichens as dual organisms and pollution indicators in some contexts.
6Alternation of generations in plants refers to:
A.Only vegetative budding each season
B.Alternation of a multicellular haploid gametophyte with a multicellular diploid sporophyte
C.Only diploid cells throughout the life cycle
D.Replacement of mitosis by binary fission
Explanation: Plant life cycles typically show alternation of generations: a multicellular haploid gametophyte producing gametes and a multicellular diploid sporophyte producing spores by meiosis. Relative dominance of each phase differs among algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.
7In bryophytes, the dominant and independent plant body is the:
A.Sporophyte
B.Seed
C.Gametophyte
D.Secondary xylem cylinder
Explanation: In bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, hornworts), the gametophyte is the conspicuous, photosynthetic, independent phase; the sporophyte is typically attached to and dependent on the gametophyte. This contrasts with vascular plants where the sporophyte dominates.
8Heterospory—the production of two kinds of spores—is a key evolutionary step toward the seed habit and is characteristic of:
A.All green algae only
B.Only bryophytes
C.Only fungi
D.Some pteridophytes (e.g., Selaginella) and all seed plants
Explanation: Heterospory (microspores and megaspores) appears in some pteridophytes such as Selaginella and is universal in gymnosperms and angiosperms, linking to endosporic gametophytes and the seed habit. Intermediate plant kingdom chapters emphasize this evolutionary trend.
9Gymnosperms are called ‘naked seeded’ plants because:
A.Their ovules/seeds are not enclosed within an ovary/fruit
B.They lack ovules entirely
C.They always lack vascular tissue
D.They reproduce only by binary fission
Explanation: In gymnosperms, ovules are exposed on megasporophylls/cones and are not enclosed in an ovary; after fertilization the seeds remain ‘naked’ (not inside a fruit). Angiosperms enclose seeds in fruits derived from ovaries.
10Double fertilization is a unique feature of:
A.Bryophytes
B.Angiosperms
C.Pteridophytes
D.Gymnosperms only
Explanation: Double fertilization—one male gamete fusing with the egg (zygote) and the other with the central cell (typically forming triploid endosperm)—is characteristic of angiosperms (flowering plants) and is a hallmark Intermediate Botany point.
