2. Stipe
3. Frond
4. Rhizoid
What is not true for mosses?
1. | Sporophyte is less elaborate than liverworts |
2. | Protonema stage develops directly from a spore |
3. | Leafy stage develops from a secondary protonema as a lateral bud |
4. | They are attached to soil through multicellular and branched rhizoids |

Identify the incorrect statement regarding green algae:
1. Major pigments are chlorophyll a and b
2. Stored food is floridean starch
3. Cellulosic cell wall
4. 2-8, equal and apical flagellar insertions
How many of the given features will be true for brown algae:
I. Presence of xanthophylls
II. A gelatinous coating of algin on cell wall
III. A centrally placed vacuole in plastids
IV. Ribbon shaped biflagellate zoospores
1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 3 | 4. | 4 |
Artificial systems of classification give equal weightage to vegetative and sexual characteristics which is not acceptable because:
1. Only the sexually characters are genetically determined
2. Vegetative characters are more easily affected by environment
3. Sexual characters are not easily observable in living beings
4. Vegetative reproduction is equally common as sexual reproduction
