Answer and Explanation
a. Saccharomyces for Yeast: Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Saccharomycetaceae, and it is Latin for "sugar fungus." Yeast is a common type of fungus that ferments sugars to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide, so the genus name Saccharomyces is fitting for the species that make up this group of yeasts.
b. Rhododendron for Laligurans: Rhododendron is a genus of plants in the family Ericaceae, and is native to Asia. The name "Rhododendron" comes from the Greek words "rhodon" meaning rose and "dendron" meaning tree. The name refers to the many-petalled flowers that many of the species have.
Laligurans is a species of this genus, with beautiful flowers and found mainly in Himalayan region.
c. Spirogyra for Pond silk: Spirogyra is a genus of green algae in the order Zygnematales, commonly found in freshwater habitats. The name "Spirogyra" is derived from Greek words "spira" meaning coil and "gyros" meaning ring, referring to the spiral chloroplasts present in the cells. The common name "Pond silk" refers to the long, thin, green filaments that make up the algal mat.
d. Polymorphism, Metamorphism & Metaphase:
Polymorphism refers to the occurrence of more than one form of an organism in the same population.
Metamorphism refers to the process of transformation in the form of the organism during its life cycle.
Metaphase refers to a stage in the cell cycle when chromosomes align in the center of the cell during cell division.
e. Apospory, apogamy, apomixis, cytomixis:
Apospory refers to the development of a new individual from a cell other than a sperm or egg cell.
Apogamy refers to the development of an embryo from a cell other than a sperm or egg cell.
Apomixis refers to the development of a new individual from an asexual reproductive cell or structure.
Cytomixis refers to the mixing of genetic material during cell division.
f. Synandrous, Syncarpous, Syngenesious, Synapsis:
Synandrous refers to the condition in which multiple stamens are fused together, as in certain flowers.
Syncarpous refers to the condition where multiple carpels are fused together to form a single pistil.
Syngenesious refers to the condition in which the stamens are fused to the style, as in certain flowers
Synapsis refers to the physical alignment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, leading to the exchange of genetic material.
