$(i)$ Sporophyte with foot, intercalary meristem and capsule
$(ii)$ Gemma cups on thallus
$(iii)$ Sorus covered by false indusium
$(iv)$ Embryophytic, tracheophytic, archegoniate

  1. Anthoceros, Marchantia, Pteris, Ginkgo

  2. Polytrichum, Lycopodium, Equisetum, Cedrus

  3. Sphagnum, Selaginella, Psilotum, Ginkgo

  4. Funaria, Gnetum, Dryopteris, Sequoia


Correct Option: A

Slime pores are found in

  1. Funaria

  2. Riccia

  3. Marchantia

  4. Anthoceros


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Slime pores are found in :

Correct option is (D), Anthoceros.
Anthoceros grown in moist soil. They have thallus body and found in shady area. Slime pores are present in Anthoceros. 
Hence, option D is correct.

The plant body of moss(Funaria) is?

  1. Completely sporophyte

  2. Predominantly gametophyte with sporophyte

  3. Completely gametophyte

  4. Predominantly sporophyte with gametophyte


Correct Option: A

Reduced gametophyte is the important character of _____

  1. Lower cryptogams

  2. Higher cryptogams

  3. Gymnosperms

  4. Angiosperms


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The haploid phase in the life cycle of plants is called Gametophyte. It is a haploid phase. It is well developed in bryophytes and highly reduced in angiosperms.

So, the correct option is 'Angiosperms'.

The plant body of a liverwort is thalloid

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The thallus is dorsiventral and closely appressed to the substrate. 

So the correct answer is True.

Find set of features related to Funaria
a. Protonema
b. Prothallus
c. Gametophore
d. Thallus body
e. NCC in antheridium
f. Haplodiplontic
g. True plant organs in sporophyte
h. Fragmentation

  1. b, d, e, g

  2. a, d, f, g

  3. a, c, f, g, h

  4. a, c, f, h


Correct Option: A

In bryophytes, zygote produces :

  1. Sporophyte

  2. Gametophyte

  3. Prothallus

  4. Spore


Correct Option: A

All given members are monoecious,except _______________.

  1. Marchantia

  2. Funaria

  3. Anthoceros

  4. Sphagnum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Marchantia is a large liverwort and is also called as umbrella liverwort. Marcantia is dioicous and hence has seperate male and female plants.

Which of the following is incorrect about bryophytes?

  1. Sex organs are multicellular

  2. Water is essential for fertilisation

  3. Meiosis occurs at the time of spore formation

  4. Antherozoids are non-motile


Correct Option: A

Artificial system of classification classifies plants on the basis of

  1. One or very few characters

  2. Phylogenetic trends

  3. Many naturally existing characters

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The major advantage of the artificial system of the classification is considering one or few characters of the plants, so the option (A) is the correct answer.
The phylogenetic trends consideration are all comes under the natural classification, so the option (B) is not the correct answer.
The option (C) refers, many naturally existing characters, which is suitable for the natural classification, not for artificial classification, so the option (C) is also not the correct answer.
