The gametophyte of  Bryophytes reproduction sexually by Isogamy Physiological anisogamy

  1. Isogamy

  2. Physiological anisogamy

  3. Siphanogamous oogamy

  4. Zooidogamous oogamy


Correct Option: A

Arange the following division in the correct sequence of the progressive evolution in their haploid phase (Gametophyte)
I) Thallophyta
II) Bryophyta
III) Pteridophyta 
IV) Spermatophta

  1. $IV,III,I,II$

  2. $IV,III,II,I$

  3. $IV,II,III,I$

  4. $II,I,III,IV$


Correct Option: A

The gametophyte is always dioecious in 

  1. All pteridophytes

  2. Gymnosperms only

  3. Angiosperms

  4. All spermatophytes


Correct Option: A

Zygote does not undergo immediate reduction division in all, except :

  1. Gymnosperms

  2. Pteridophytes

  3. Bryophytes

  4. Angiosperms


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Answer is option C i.e. "Bryophytes"
The zygote does not undergo meiosis immediately in bryophytes to form the sporophyte (a multi-cellular body). Some cells of the sporophyte undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. Spores further germinate to produce the gametophyte.

Choose the correct statement:

  1. bryophytes can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction

  2. sex organ in bryophytes are unicellular

  3. Main plant body in bryophytes are gametophytes , differentiated into true root , stem and leaves

  4. Common examples of liverworts is Polytrichum


Correct Option: A

The term prothallus is used for

  1. Stage before thallus

  2. Plant body without differentiation of stem.leaves and roots

  3. Reduced gametophyte

  4. Reduced sporophyte


Correct Option: C

Opening of floral buds into flowers, is a type of:

  1. Autonomic movement of growth

  2. Autonomic movement of locomotion

  3. Autonomic movement of variation

  4. Paratonic movement of growth


Correct Option: A

Consider the following four statements whether they are correct or wrong
(A)The sporophyte in liverworts is more elaborate than that in mosses
(B)Salvinia is heterosporous
(C)The Life-cycle in all seed-bearing plants is diplontic
(D) In Pinus male and female cones are borne on different trees
 The two wrong statements together are

  1. Statements (A) and (C)

  2. Statements(A) and (D)

  3. Statements(B) and (C)

  4. Statements (A) and (B)


Correct Option: B

  1. $48, 16, 36$

  2. $52, 26, 32$

  3. $26, 16, 120$

  4. $48, 96, 24$


Correct Option: C

Haploids are considered better genetic stock because they ______________.

  1. Require only half of the nutrients

  2. Are best for cytological studies

  3. Grow better under all conditions

  4. Form homozygous individuals on depolarization


Correct Option: A
