A | B | C | D | |
1. | Antheridiophore | Male thallus | Globule | Roots |
2. | Archegoniophore | Female thallus | Gemma cup | Rhizoids |
3. | Archegoniophore | Female thallus | Bud | Foot |
4. | Seta | Sporophyte | Protonema | Rhizoids |
Selaginella and Salvinia are considered to represent a significant step towards the evolution of seed habit because:
1. | Embryo develops in female gametophyte which is retained on parent sporophyte. |
2. | Female gametophyte is free and gets dispersed like seeds. |
3. | Female gametophyte lacks archegonia. |
4. | Megaspores possess endosperm and embryo surrounded by a seed coat. |
Examine the figures A, B, C and D. In which one of the four options all the items, A, B, C and D are correct?
Options :
A | B | C | D | |
1. | Equisetum | Ginkgo | Selaginella | Lycopodium |

3. | Funaria | Adiantum | Salvinia | Riccia |
4. | Chara | Marchantia | Fucus | Pinus |
Which one of the following pairs is wrongly matched?
1. Salvinia - Prothallus

4. Ginkgo-Archegonia
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, male gametophyte is not independent |
III: | The sporophyte in Marchantia is more developed than that in Polytrichum |
IV: | Sexual reproduction in Volvox is isogamous |
V: | The spores of slime moulds lack cell walls |
How many of the above statements is/are correct?
1. | Three | 2. | Four |
3. | One | 4. | Two |
Water is essential for Bryophyta:
1. | For fertilization and homosporous nature |
2. | Water should be filled in the archegonium for fertilization |
3. | Water is necessary for the movement of sperm |
4. | For the dissemination of spores |
In oogamy, fertilization involves:
1. | A large non-motile female gamete and a small motile male gamete |
2. | A large non-motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete |
3. | A large motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete |
4. | A small non-motile female gamete and a large motile male gamete |
Which of the following statement is true for bryophyta:
1. | Along with water absorption roots also provide anchorment to plants |
2. | Sporophyte is dominant |
3. | Gametophyte is dominant and sporophyte is mostly parasitic |
4. | Gametophyte is parasitic |
In ferns, Meiosis takes place at the time of:
1. Spore formation
2. Spore germination
3. Gamete formation
4. Antheridia and archegonia formation
