Detailed Solution

Step 1: Understand the structure of an angiosperm anther

A typical angiosperm anther is described as bilobed. This means it consists of two distinct lobes connected by a connective tissue.

Step 2: Analyze the internal structure of each lobe

Each lobe of the anther contains two theca (singular: theca). Therefore, the anther is often referred to as dithecous.

Step 3: Calculate the total

Since each lobe contains 2 theca, and there are 2 lobes in a bilobed anther, the total number of theca in the entire anther is 4 (tetrasporangiate). However, the question specifically asks for the number of theca in each lobe.

Final Answer: 2

Pedagogical Audit
Bloom's Analysis: This is an APPLY question because the student must apply their knowledge of botanical terminology (bilobed vs. dithecous) to identify the specific structural components of an anther.
Knowledge Dimension: FACTUAL
Justification: The question tests the recall of specific anatomical facts regarding angiosperm reproductive structures as defined in the NCERT Biology curriculum.
Syllabus Audit: In the context of NEET, this is classified as KNOWLEDGE (Textbook). This question directly assesses the foundational understanding of the 'Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants' chapter, which is a high-yield topic for NEET.

A ray of light with wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely 1, 2 and 3. The threshold wavelength of these photoelectric cells are $\lambda_{1}$, $\lambda_{2},$ and $\lambda_{3,}$ respectively and the magnitude of stopping potentials of these cells are $V_{1}$, $V_{2}$ and $V_{3},$ respectively. The relation between $\lambda$ and threshold wavelengths are $\lambda_{1}\lambda$ and $\lambda_{3}>>\lambda$. The correct option is:

Bob B of mass m at rest is hanging vertically from the ceiling via a massless string of length 10 m, as shown in the figure. Point mass A of mass m travelling horizontally with speed $10~ms^{-1}$ hits bob B elastically. The bob B rises h meter after the collision. Taking the acceleration due to gravity $g=10~ms^{-2}$ and neglecting the size of the bob, the value of h is: [Image Placeholder]
