MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

Which one of the following terminology does NOT represent a seed dispersal mechanism in crops/plants?

निम्नलिखित में से कौन सी शब्दावली फसलों/पौधों में बीज प्रकीर्णन तंत्र (Seed dispersal mechanism) का प्रतिनिधित्व नहीं करती है?

Autochory ऑटोकोरी / स्व-प्रकीर्णन Hydrochory हाइड्रोकोरी / जल प्रकीर्णन Zerochory जीरोकोरी Zoochory जूकोरी / जंतु प्रकीर्णन

Standard ecological terms describing seed and diaspore dispersal mechanisms include:
Autochory: Self-dispersal by the plant itself (e.g., explosive pod dehiscence in legumes or balsams).
Hydrochory: Dispersal by water currents (e.g., coconut, water lilies).
Zoochory: Dispersal mediated by animals (endozoochory via ingestion, epizoochory via burrs/hooks).
Anemochory: Dispersal by wind currents.
'Zerochory' is a fabricated term and does NOT exist in botanical literature.

Hence, Zerochory is the correct answer.

बीज एवं फल प्रकीर्णन (Seed dispersal) से संबंधित मानक वानस्पतिक शब्दावलियाँ:
ऑटोकोरी (Autochory): पौधे द्वारा स्वयं विस्फोटक क्रिया या गुरुत्वाकर्षण द्वारा बीजों का प्रकीर्णन।
हाइड्रोकोरी (Hydrochory): जल धाराओं द्वारा बीजों का बहाव (जैसे नारियल)।
जूकोरी (Zoochory): जानवरों और पक्षियों द्वारा बीजों का प्रसार।
एनेमोकोरी (Anemochory): वायु द्वारा बीजों का उड़ना।
'जीरोकोरी' (Zerochory) कोई वैज्ञानिक शब्द नहीं है और यह किसी प्रकीर्णन तंत्र को प्रदर्शित नहीं करता है।

अतः सही उत्तर जीरोकोरी है।
