Which numbered parts of the flower continue to develop after fertilisation?
- AA 1 and 5
- BB 2 and 4
- CC 3 and 5
- DD 4 and 5
14To avoid extinction of a rare plant species, a botanical garden keeps a collection of seeds, known as a seed bank.
Which condition will prevent these seeds germinating whilst in storage?- AA high humidity
- BB high oxygen levels
- CC low light intensity
- DD ow temperature
15What may be defined as ‘an increase in dry mass’ in plants?

16The diagram shows a plant that is producing small plantlets.
Which statement about the plantlets is correct?
- AA They are genetically different from the parent plant.
- BB They are genetically identical to the parent plant.
- CC They are produced as a result of the fusion of nuclei.
- DD They are produced by fertilising the flowers.
17Which response is a result of "geotropism"?
- AA flowers being produced
- BB growing bigger leaves
- CC roots growing downwards
- DD seeds germinating
18Some bean seeds are planted 2 cm below the surface of some soil in a tray.
Which process will not occur as the seeds start to germinate?- AA growth
- BB osmosis
- CC photosynthesis
- DD respiration
19The diagram shows an experiment on germination.
Groups of test-tubes were set up as shown.
The groups were placed in different conditions.
Which table shows the results?
- AA
- BB

22"Pollination" is the transfer of pollen -
- AA from anther to sepal
- BB from anther to stigma.
- CC from sepal to anther.
- DD from stigma to anther.
