Heterosporous pteridophytes show certain characteristics, which are precursors to the 'seed habit' in gymnosperms. One such characteristics is
Report Question

0%
presence of embryo stage
0%
development of embryo inside the female gametophyte
Explanation
Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia which produce two kinds of spores, are known as heterosporous. The megaspores and microspores germinate and give rise to female and male gametophytes, respectively.The female gametophytes in these plants are retained on the parent sporophytes for variable periods. The development of the zygotes into young embryos take place within the female gametophytes. This event Is the precursor to the seed habit which is considered as an important step in evolution.
Hence the correct option is D.

Sporophylls
Explanation
Gymnosperms are heterosporous, i.e., produce two different kinds of spores the male (microspores) and the female (megaspores). The spores are borne inside the sporangia. The two types of sporangia (microsporangia and megasporangia) are borne on special leaf- like structures called microsporophylls (
=
stamens) and megasporophylls (
=
carpels) respectively. The sporophylls are usually aggregated in the form of compact structures called cones or strobili. The cones are generally unisexual, i.e., the male cones are microsporangiate (pollen cones) and the female cones are megasporangiate (seed cones). So, the correct answer is 'Spores

Which of the following organisms requires a medium through which male gametes move?

0%
Algae, Bryophyta, and Pteridophyta
Explanation
In simple plants like algae, bryophytes, and pteridophytes, water serve as the medium through which gamete transfer takes place.
A large number of male gametes fail to reach the female gametes.
Thus, to compensate for the loss of male gametes during transport, organisms produce male gametes several thousand times the number of female gametes produced.
Causative agent of red tide is ____________.

Chrysophyte

Lichen
Explanation
Correct option -A
Explanation for correct option -A
Red tides are caused by dinoflagellates.
Red tide is a common name for a phenomenon known as an algal bloom (large concentrations of aquatic microorganisms) when it is caused by a few species of dinoflagellates and the bloom takes on a red colour.
Thus red tides are events in which estuarine, marine or freshwater algae accumulate rapidly in the water column, resulting in red colouration of water.

While studying a plant, you discover that it has chlorophyll, no xylem. Its multicellular sex organs are enclosed in a layer of jacket cells. Its gametophyte Stage is free living. The plant probability belongs to ____.
Report Question
0%
Chlorophyceae
0%
Bryophyte
0%
Pteridophyte
0%
Gymnosperm
Explanation
The life cycle of higher plants is dominated by the sporophyte stage, with the gametophyte borne on the sporophyte.
In ferns, the gametophyte is free-living and very distinct in structure from the diploid sporophyte.
Pteridophytes also have their multicellular sex organs covered in the multicellular jacket layer.
So the correct answer is '
Pteridophyte'
Select the incorrect statement regarding reproduction in Rhodophyceae.
Report Question
0%
Asexual reproduction occurs by non-motile spores.
0%
Sexual reproduction occurs by motile gametes.
0%
Sexual reproduction is oogamous.
0%
Complex post-fertilisation developmental events occur
Explanation
Rhodophyceae are red algae found majorly in the marine environment with a small percentage of freshwater species.
Asexual reproduction occurs through non-motile spores like monospore, tetraspore, etc.
Sexual reproduction is an advanced oogamous type where the male gamete, the spermatium is non-motile. It reaches the female reproductive structure the carpogonium and reaches the egg or the oogonium through a structure called the trichogyne.
Fertilization is facilitated by water currents as none of the gametes are motile. The post-fertilization changes in Rhodophyceae are complex giving rise to triphasic life cycles.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Spore dispersal in mosses occurs by-
Report Question
0%
Simple mechanism
0%
Peristome teeth
0%
Elaters
0%
Elatophores
Explanation
In the moss capsule, dispersal of spores takes place through peristomial teeth.
When the mature capsule begins to dry up the thin-walled cells of the annulus break and the operculum is thrown away.
Dropping off the operculum is assisted by the outward hygroscopic movement of the underlying peristomial teeth.
Due to this movement, slits between the inner thin-walled peristomial teeth become wider and spores escape gradually through these slits.
Elaters are elastic filaments serving to disperse spores in liverworts.
Elaterophores are tissues bearing elaters, found in some liverworts.
So, the correct answer is option B.

0%
Paraphysis of the archegonial branch.
Explanation
The embryonic sporophyte is often protected by a calyptra, a covering that develops from the wall of the archegonium. The calyptra is, therefore, a very close covering over the embryonic sporophyte.
So, the correct option is 'Ventral wall of archegonium'.

Explanation
Green chromoproteins are called as biliproteins. It is a photosynthetic pigment found in many insects such as grasshopper. It is derived from the biliverdin, bile pigment. Phycobilin are found attached to the biliproteins.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Phycobilin.'

Zygote formed undergoes meiosis immediately
Explanation
Zygote formed In bryophytes is the beginning of the sporophytic generation.
It will repeatedly divide through mitosis and later differentiate to form a sporophytic plant body. Sporophyte comprises of stalk and capsule in case of bryophytes. Sporangium is present within the capsule that contains spore mother cells which will undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. Later these spores germinate to produce a gametophytic body.
So, the correct option is D.
