1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I

Coralloid roots in Cycas are associated with nitrogen fixing:
1. | Rhizobium | 2. | Frankia |
3. | Azospirillum | 4. | Cyanobacteria |
All the following regarding Pinus are correct except:
1. Obligate association with mycorrhiza
2. Unbranched stems
3. Male and female strobili on the same plant
4. Leaves in fascicles
Identify the incorrect statement:
1. | As compared to the bryophytes, pteridophytes have sporophyte as the main plant body |
2. | Pteridophyte sporophyte has well differentiated true roots, stem and leaves |
3. | Selaginella has macrophylls like ferns |
4. | In sporophyte of ferns, leaf-like appendages called sporophylls subtend sporangia |
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 |
In the life cycle of a moss, the sporphytic generation is represented by all the following except:
