What is the function of the gemmae produced by some liverworts?
1. a water gathering structure
2. a light gathering structure
3. a sexual structure
4. an asexual structure
1. Unicellular
2. Multicellular
3. Acellular
4. Unicellular or multicellular
Ecologically important first colonizers of rocks are:
| 1. | Lichens | 2. | Algae |
| 3. | Gymnosperms | 4. | Angiosperms |
What is not true regarding bryophytes?
1. Zygote undergoes reduction division immediately
2. Sporophyte is not free living
3. Haploid spores are produced by meiosis
4. The sex organs are multi-cellular
1. Chlorophyceae
2. Phaeophyceae
3. Rhodophyceae
4. All algae
The term ‘strobilus’ in a gymnosperm defines a:
| 1. | collection of megasporophylls |
| 2. | collection of microsporophylls |
| 3. | site of sporangial development |
| 4. | collection of megasporophylls, microsporophylls and/or a site of sporangial development |
The bryophytes are also called as the amphibians of plants kingdom mainly because:
1. they respire through the moist epidermis
2. they depend on water for sexual reproduction
3. they require more water than most plants
4. they lack true roots
Vegetative reproduction in mosses is by:
1. Fragmentation and budding in secondary protonema
2. Only budding in secondary protonema
3. Adventitious roots and budding in secondary protonema
4. Fragmentation and budding in sporophyte
The economic importance of bryophytes include:
| I: | A moss provides peat used as a packing material |
| II: | They are early colonizers of land in ecological succession |
| III: | They can decompose rocks |
| IV: | They can prevent soil erosion |
| 1. | Only I, II and III | 2. | Only I, III and IV |
| 3. | Only II, III and IV | 4. | I, II, III and IV |
