A species of red algae has been discovered near Bahamas at a depth of more than 260 m. This unusual feat is possible because this alga:
| 1. | lacks pigmentation and functions heterotrophically as parasite on other plants |
| 2. | has significant amount of phycoerythrin in addition to chlorophyll a and d |
| 3. | unlike other red algae has flagellated gametes |
| 4. | it has large number of root like rhizoids enabling it to attach to a deep substratum |
The earliest land plants lacked true roots. What may have enabled them the most to colonize land?
| 1. | Symbiotic associations with fungi |
| 2. | Prostrate thalloid body |
| 3. | Motile antherozoids capable of reaching the egg through water |
| 4. | Parasitic and saprophytic modes of nutrition |
Charophytes are the only living algae that share distinctive derived traits with land plants that other algae don’t. All the following will be examples of such derived traits except:
1. Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins
2. Structure of flagellated sperms
3. Formation of a phragmoplast
4. Presence of chlorophyll a and b
