Bryophytes are attached to the substratum by rhizoids that are:
1. Unicellular | 2. Multicellular |
3. Acellular | 4. Unicellular or multicellular |
Evolutionarily, the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues are:
1. | Bryophytes | 2. | Pteridophytes |
3. | Gnetales | 4. | Cycads |
All the following are characteristics of bryophytes except:
1. spore producing
2. dominant gametophyte
3. lignified tissues
4. producing antheridium and archegonium
Which of the following Greek root word means "naked" and hence gives name to plants like cycas and pines?
1. | angeion | 2. | sperm |
3. | gymnos | 4. | gynos |
The term ‘strobilus’ in a gymnosperm defines a:
1. collection of megasporophylls
2. collection of microsporophylls
3. site of sporangial development
4. collection of megasporophylls, microsporophylls and/or a site of sporangial development
Female sex organs of gymnosperms are called:
1. | Archegonia | 2. | Female strobili |
3. | Megasporangium | 4. | Megasporophyll |
The bryophytes are also called as the amphibians of plants kingdom mainly because:
1. they respire through the moist epidermis
2. they depend on water for sexual reproduction
3. they require more water than most plants
4. they lack true roots
Vegetative reproduction in mosses is by:
1. Fragmentation and budding in secondary protonema
2. Only budding in secondary protonema
3. Adventitious roots and budding in secondary protonema
4. Fragmentation and budding in sporophyte
Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms:
1. the male and female gametophytes do not have an independent existence
2. the vascular tissue is poorly developed
3. the reproduction is dependent on water in most cases
4. the plants bodies are clearly differentiated into root, stem and leaves
Consider the following statements regarding green algae:
I. Pigments are located in definite plastids
II. Most have pyrenoids in chloroplasts
III. Cell wall has an inner layer of pectose and outer layer of cellulose
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct
