In which one of the following, male and female gametophytes do not have free living independent existence
1. | Polytrichum | 2. | Cedrus |
3. | Pteris | 4. | Funaria |
Archegoniophore is present in :
1. Marchantia
2. Chara
3. Adiantum
4. Funaria
The gametophyte is not an independent, free living generation in:
1. Polytrichum
2. Adiantum
3. Marchantia
4. Pinus
Consider the following four statements whether they are correct or wrong,
(A) The sporophyte in liverworts is more elaborate than that in mosses.
(B) Salvinia is heterosporous.
(C) The life-cycle in all seed-bearing plants is diplontic.
(D) In Pinus, male and female cones are borne on different trees.
The two wrong statements together are
1. (A) and (C) | 2. (A) and (D) |
3. (B) and (C) | 4. (A) and (B) |
Selaginella and Salvinia are considered to represent a significant step toward evolution of seed habit because:
1. | Female gametophyte is free and gets dispersed like seeds. |
2. | Female gametophyte lacks archegonia. |
3. | Megaspores possess endosperm and embryo surrounded by seed coat. |
4. | Embryo develops in female gametophyte which is retained on parent sporophyte. |
Examine the figure given below and select the right option giving all the four parts (a, b, c and d) correctly identified.
(a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
1. | Archegoniophore | Female thallus | Gemma cup | Rhizoids |
2. | Archegoniophore | Female thallus | Bud | Foot |
3. | Seta | Sporophyte | Protonema | Rhizoids |
4. | Antheridiophore | Male thallus | Globule | Roots |

4. Multiplication by fragmentation
Cycas and Adiantum resemble each other in having :
1. Seeds
2. Motile Sperms
3. Cambium
4. Vessels
