Prothallus is
1. A structure in pteridophytes formed before the thallus develops.
2. A sporophytic inconspicuous free living structure formed in pteridophytes.
3. A gametophytic inconspicuous free living structure formed in pteridophytes.
4. A gametophytic conspicuous structure formed after fertilization in pteridophytes.

Read the following statement and find out the incorrect statement.
1. Algae usually reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation, asexually by formation of different types of spores and sexually by formation of gametes.
2. Algae are classified into three classes, pteridophytes into four classes and antiosperms into two classes.
3. Algae are chlorophyll bearing simple, thalloid, autotrophic and largely aquatic organisms.
4. The plant body of algae is more differentiated than that of bryophytes.

The spreading of living pteridophyte is limited and is restricted to narrow geographical region because of
1. Growth requirements of gametophyte (cool, damp and shady places).
2. Requirement of water for fertilisation.
3. Absence of stomata in leaf and absence of vascular tissue.
4. Both 1. and 2..

Although pteridophytes are first land vascular plant but its distribution is restricted to few geographical areas because?
1. Restricted requirement for growth of gametophyte.
2. Need of H₂O for fertilization
3. Dominant sporophytic phase 
4. Both 1 and 2

3. [C]
4. All the above

In Pteridophytes reduction division occurs during
1. spore formation
2. gamete formation
3. sporophyte formation
4. gametophyte germination

Gametophyte in the pteridophytes is

In bryophytes and pteridophytes, transport of male gametes requires?

A Prothallus is
