| 1. | While they are produced in sexual reproduction in algae, in fungi they are produced in asexual reproduction. |
| 2. | While they are produced in sexual reproduction in fungi, in algae they are produced in asexual reproduction. |
| 3. | They are flagellated and motile in algae and non-motile in fungi. |
| 4. | They are motile and produced in asexual reproduction in both algae and fungi. |
Identify the correct statement regarding members of Phaeophyceae:
1. The main photosynthetic pigment is fucoxanthin and chlorophyll a is absent.
2. The stored food is in the form of mannitol and laminarin is toxic to them.
3. Their cell walls have algin and polysulphate esters.
4. The flagellar number is 2, unequal in size and attached laterally.

Chemotaxonomy is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as ‘the method of biological classification based on similarities and dissimilarities in the structure of certain compounds among the organisms being classified’. There is an argument that proteins are more reliable of genetic relationships. Which of the following most strongly supports the argument?
| 1. | Almost all enzymes are proteins |
| 2. | Proteins in living organisms are more closely controlled by genes. |
| 3. | The primary structure of proteins is very easy to determine. |
| 4. | A ribozyme catalyses the formation of peptide bond leading to the formation of proteins. |
Consider the given two statements:
| I: | The older botany term ‘vascular cryptogams’ can be applied to the pteridophytes. |
| II: | Pteridophytes do not produce seeds but have vascular or conducting system. |
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 correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
