    This document outlines the instructions and scoring for a botany practical exam with 9 sections. It includes identifying plant specimens like dicot stem and monocot root from slides and describing structures. Students must write the aims of experiments, construct floral formulas, describe ecological interactions like lichen symbiosis, and identify a microscope slide of an anther cross section. The exam evaluates skills like preparing slides, labeling diagrams, and demonstrating awareness of plant physiology concepts. Keeping an organized practical diary of records is also part of the assessment. The total possible score is 20.
