Explanation
I. Cycas has the largest ovule, sperm and male cone – False because in Cycas male cone is not largest.
II. Selaginella has ligule – True, small leaf-like structure present at the base of the leaf in Selaginella is called ligule.
III. Algae will be the source of future food – True.
IV. It becomes quite evident that Selaginella has considerably advanced towards the seed habit in a few species its approach to the true seed is not complete – True.
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Numerical taxonomy is easily carried out using computers based on all observable characteristics, numbers, and codes are assigned to all the characters, and the data are then processed.
Each character is given equal importance.
simultaneously hundreds of characters can be considered cytotaxonomy that is based on cytological information like chromosome number, structure, behavior.
In Chemotaxonomy, we use the chemical constituents of the plant to resolve confusion, is also used by taxonomists these days.
Hence, the incorrect pair is chemotaxonomy - chromosome number and structure.
Algae are usually aquatic, either marine or fresh water. Only a few algae occur in moist terrestrial habitats like tree trunks, wet rocks, moist soil, etc. Plant body is thallus (a form without any differentiation into root, stem and leaves). Sexual, asexual and vegetative modes of reproduction are | abundant. Form and size of algae range from microscopic unicellular forms like Chlamydomonas, to colonial forms like Volvox and to filamentous forms like Ulothrix and Spirogyra. So, the correct answer is 'Statements (i), (ii) and (iii) are true'.
