Sexual reproduction is oogamous and accompanied by complete post-fertilization developments in the members of:
| 1. | Chlorophyceae |
| 2. | Phaeophyceae |
| 3. | Rhodophyceae |
| 4. | Both Chlorophyceae and Phaeophyceae |
| 1. | Red algae | 2. | Green algae |
| 3. | Brown algae | 4. | Blue green algae |
| 1. | They are dependent on water for sexual reproduction. |
| 2. | Archegonium is flask shaped and produces multiple eggs. |
| 3. | Sporophyte is attached to the photosynthetic gametophytes and derives nourishment from it. |
| 4. | The antherozoids are released into water. |
Regarding Marchantia:
| I: | The thallus is dorsi-ventral and closely appressed to the substrate. |
| II: | The plant is monoecious. |
| 1. | Both I and II are incorrect |
| 2. | Only I is incorrect |
| 3. | Only I is correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are correct |
| 1. Only I | 2. Only II |
| 3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |
| I: | Protonema is a gametophyte stage that is creeping, green, branched and frequently filamentous. |
| II: | Leafy stage bears sex organs and is attached to the soil through multicellular and branched rhizoids. |
| III: | Sex organs are produced at the apex of the leafy shoot. |
| IV: | They have an elaborate mechanism of spore dispersal. |
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
| Assertion (A): | Heterospory in some pteridophytes paved the way for the evolution of seeds in higher plants. |
| Reason (R): | The megaspores and microspores in heterosporous ferns give rise to female and male gametophytes respectively. |
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| I. | Sporophytic generation is represented only by the one-celled zygote. |
| II. | Meiosis in zygote results in the formation of haploid gametes. |
| III. | The dominant photosynthetic stage is the free living gametophyte |
| 1. | Only I is correct |
| 2. | Only I and III are correct |
| 3. | Only II is correct |
| 4. | I, II and III are correct |
