In the given diagram of Funaria, what are A, B, C and D respectively?
1. Sporophyte, Gametophyte, Female branch, Male branch
2. Gametophyte, Sporophyte, Female branch, Male branch
3. Sporophyte, Gametophyte, Male branch, Female branch
4. Gametophyte, Sporophyte, Male branch, Female branch
The given diagram shows:
1. Male thallus of Marchantia 2. Female thallus of Marchantia 3. Sphagnum sporophyte 4. Sphagnum gametophyte |
Identify the correct statement regarding Marchantia:
1. | Multicellular rhizoids help in anchorage and absorption of water through their capillary action. |
2. | Reproductive organs are borne on antheridiophores and archegoniophores that arise from the apical notches of male and female thalli respectively. |
3. | The antheridiophore has an umbrella shaped structure which bears antheridia. |
4. | The archegoniophores have flattened, more or less convex head or receptacle. |
Consider the given statements regarding patterns of life cycle in living organisms:
I. In haplontic life cycles, zygotes are the only diploid cells; mitosis occurs only in the diploid phase.
II. In diplontic life cycles, gametes are usually the only haploid cells, and mitosis usually occurs only in the haploid phase.
III. In haplo-diplontic life cycle, alternation of generations is marked and mitosis occurs in both haploid and diploid phases.
1. Only III is correct | 2. Both I and II are correct |
3. All are correct | 4. All are incorrect |
