2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |

I: | The sex organs in bryophytes are multicellular. |
II: | The male sex organ is called antheridium and they produce biflagellate antherozoids. |
III: | The female sex organ called archegonium is flask-shaped and produces a single egg. |
IV: | The antherozoids are released into water where they come in contact with archegonium. |
V: | Zygotes undergo reduction division immediately. |
I: | The predominant stage of the life cycle of a moss is the gametophyte. |
II: | Protonema stage develops directly from a spore. |
III: | Leafy stage bears the sex organs. |
Pinus | Cycas | |
I: | Coralloid roots | Mycrorrhizal associations |
II: | Stems are branched | Stems are unbranched |
III: | The male or female cones or strobili are borne on different trees | The male or female cones or strobili are borne on the same tree |
I: | They possess chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids and xanthophylls. |
II: | Food is stored as complex carbohydrates, which may be in the form of laminarin or mannitol. |
