Study the figure and find out incorrect statement.
1. Contains laminarin or mannitol as reserve food.
2. Life-cycle is diplontic.
3. Union of gamete may take place in water or within the oogonium.
4. Gametes with two apically inserted flagella.
A Prothallus is
1. A structure in pteridophytes formed before the thallus develops
2. A sporophytic free living structure formed in pteridophytes
3. A gametophyte free living structure formed in pteridophytes
4. A primitive structure formed after fertilization in pteridophytes
Mannitol is the stored food in:
1. Chara
2. Porphyra
3. Fucus
4. Gracillaria
Pinus seeds cannot germinate and establish without fungal association. This is because:
1. its seeds contain inhibitors that prevent germination.
2. its embryo is immature.
3. it has an obligate association with mycorrhizae.
4. it has a very hard seed coat.
From an evolutionary point of view, retention of the female gametophyte with developing young embryo on the parent sporophyte for some time, is first observed in:
1. | Gymnosperms | 2. | Liverworts |
3. | Mosses | 4. | Pteridophytes |
Choose the incorrect match from following:-
1. Cycas-branched stem.
2. Salvinia-heterosporous sporophyte.
3. Marchantia-Elaters.
4. Chlorella-used by space travellers.
Assertion: Seeds are formed in Gymnosperms.
Reason: Female gametophyte is retained within megasporangium in Gymnosperms.
Leafy stage develops from the secondary protonema as a
1. Apical bud
2. Axillary bud
3. Lateral bud
4. Meristem
The given diagram shows:
(1) An alga that lacks flagellated cells
