    Contest 8
    Round 1b

    Give one feature of root tubers that distinguishes them from stem tubers
    1. Root tubers can arise from any part of the root, but Stem tubers arise at
    the tip of an underground branch.

    2. Several root branches can arise from stem tubers but root tubers do not
    bear roots in the intact condition.

    3. Eyes are absent in root tubers; stem tubers possess eye.

    4. Nodes and internodes are absent in root tubers, but stem tubers possess
    nodes and internodes.

    5. Scale leaves and axillary buds are absent in root tubers but stem tubers
    possess leaves and axillary buds

    6. Apical bud is absent in a root tuber, stem tuber possesses apical bud

    impulse movement – Synaptic knob, Axon terminal, Axon, Dendrites, Cell
    body.
    Dendrites, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminal, Synaptic knob.

    2. What name is given to the deliberate selection of some species of plants and
    animals over others for their desirable characters
    Artificial selection / Selective breeding

    3. In which phase of cell division do chromosomes exhibit the lowest level of

    ROUND 5

    1. We are a diverse group of ray-finned fishes.

    water
    3. We are scaleless, a characteristic that distinguishes us from most other teleost
    fishes.
    4. Most of us have a cylindrical body with a flattened ventral side to allow for
    benthic feeding
    5. We are named for our prominent barbels, which resemble a cat's whiskers,

    present outside the fibre
    False

    2. Positive charge is present in the intercellular fluid and outside the fibre
    False

    3. Negative charge is present in the intercellular fluid and outside the fibre
