| 1. | Bryophytes | 2. | Pteridophytes |
| 3. | Gnetales | 4. | Cycads |
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | The spread of living pteridophytes is restricted to narrow geographical regions |
| II: | They are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is true but II is false
4. I is false but II is true

| 3. | Pteris | 4. | Lycopodium |
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 |
Consider the following statements:
| I: | Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular bundles. |
| II: | Main plant body in pteridophytes is sporophyte which is differentiated into true stem and leaves. |
| III: | Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia are heterosporous. |
Which of the above statements are true?
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
The given diagram shows :
| 1. An alga that lacks flagellated cells 2. A liverwort 3. A heterosporous pteridophyte 4. A gymnosperm with non motile sperms |
 |
Given are the following five statements (I - V) for your consideration:
| I: | In Equisetum, the female gametophyte is retained on the parent sporophyte |
| II: | In Ginkgo, the male gametophyte is not independent |
| III: | The sporophyte in Marchantia is more developed than that in Polytrichum |
| IV: | Sexual reproduction in Volvox is isogamous |
