A: In gymnosperms the pollen grains are released from the microsporangium and carried by air currents. R: Air currents carry the pollen grains to the mouth of the archegonia where the male gametes are discharged and pollen tube is not formed.
A is true (wind dispersal). R is false — gymnosperms DO form pollen tubes (siphonogamy).
Read the following statements and choose the set of correct statements:
In the members of Phaeophyceae,
A. Asexual reproduction occurs usually by biflagellate zoospores.
B. Sexual reproduction is by oogamous method only.
C. Stored food is in the form of carbohydrates which is either mannitol or laminarin.
D. The major pigments found are chlorophyll a, c and carotenoids and xanthophyll.
E. Vegetative cells have a cellulosic wall, usually covered on the outside by gelatinous coating of algin.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Phaeophyceae show isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous reproduction — not only oogamous; B is false.
Given below are the stages in the life cycle of pteridophytes. Arrange the following stages in the correct sequence. A. Prothallus stage B. Meiosis in spore mother cells C. Fertilisation D. Formation of archegonia and antheridia in gametophyte E. Transfer of antherozoids to the archegonia in presence of water. Choose the correct answer:
Spore mother cells undergo meiosis (B) → spores germinate into the prothallus/gametophyte (A) → antheridia & archegonia form (D) → antherozoids reach archegonia in water (E) → fertilisation (C). Sequence B, A, D, E, C.
The correct sequence of events in the life cycle of bryophytes is: A. Fusion of antherozoid with egg. B. Attachment of gametophyte to substratum. C. Reduction division to produce haploid spores. D. Formation of sporophyte. E. Release of antherozoids into water. Choose the correct answer:
Gametophyte attaches (B) → antherozoids released into water (E) → fertilisation (A) → sporophyte forms (D) → meiosis gives haploid spores (C). Sequence B, E, A, D, C.
Which one of the following is the characteristic feature of gymnosperms?
Gymnosperms ("naked seeds") bear ovules/seeds that are not enclosed within an ovary/fruit.
Match List I with List II:
List I — A. Pteridophyte, B. Bryophyte, C. Angiosperm, D. Gymnosperm
List II — I. Salvia, II. Ginkgo, III. Polytrichum, IV. Salvinia
Choose the option with all correct matches:
Pteridophyte → Salvinia (IV); Bryophyte → Polytrichum (III); Angiosperm → Salvia (I); Gymnosperm → Ginkgo (II).
In bryophytes, the gemmae help in which one of the following?
Gemmae are specialised asexual reproductive bodies (in gemma cups) by which bryophytes reproduce vegetatively.
