Multiple choice examples of bryophytes plant kingdom biology

Funaria male gametes are : 

  1. Polyflagellate

  2. Monoflagellate

  3. Biflagellate

  4. Tetraflagellate

C Correct answer
Explanation

androcyte mother cells are formed from the division and re-division of the primary androgonial cell. Each androcyte mother cell divides to form two andro­cytes. The androcytes transform into biflagellate antherozoids or sperms.

So the correct option is 'Biflagellate.'

Multiple choice

A Correct answer
Explanation

The blade is the broad, flat part of the leaf where most photosynthesis occurs. It is the primary surface area for light absorption.

Multiple choice
  1. carpels

  2. stamen

  3. sepals

  4. petals

B Correct answer
Explanation

The stamen is the collective term for the male reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the anther and the filament. Carpels are the female reproductive organs, while sepals and petals are sterile floral parts.

  1. sepals

  2. carpels

  3. petals

  4. leaves

  2. Predominantly diploid

  3. to flower

  4. Conifers

  5. Naked seed plants

Which group of plants bear flowers?

  1. Pteridophytes

  2. Angiosperms

  3. Gymnosperms

  4. Bryophytes

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Angiosperms or flowering plants include all those plants in which seeds are enclosed in the fruits. An ovule is well developed in angiosperms. Thus option B is the correct answer.

Vessels and companion cells are characteristics of

  1. Angiosperm

  2. Gymnosperm

  3. Pteridophyta

  4. Fern

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A xylem vessel is a characteristic feature of an angiosperm and help in transportation of water. When it comes to transportation of food, it is the phloem that transports food materials from the leaves to the other parts. Sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma are the different components of the phloem. The sieve tube elements are arranged longitudinally with the companion cells and the pressure gradient in them is maintained by the companion cells

So, the correct answer is 'Angiosperm'

Vessels are found in

  1. All pteridophyta

  2. All angiosperms

  3. Some gymnosperms

  4. Both (B) and (C)

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Vessels are present in most of the angiosperms and also in certain lower plants like Gnetum, Marsilea and Selaginella. Tracheids are found in pteridophytes, most of the gymnosperms and a few angiosperms.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
