Important Questions on Classification of Living Organisms

EASY
Character of Pteridophyte considered as an important step in evolution
MEDIUM

Arrange the following plants with their respective classes in the same order. Sphenopsida, Psilopsida, Pteropsida, Lycopsida, Gnetopsida

A) Selaginella
B) Equisitum
C) Sphagnum
D) Adiantum
E) Psilotum
F) Gnetum

EASY

Assertion (A): In evolution, the distribution of Bryophytes and Pteridophytes, was limited.

Reason (R) : The need for water for the transportation of male gametes and fertilization limited their distribution.

The correct option among the following is:

HARD
Match the following lists:
  List-I   List-II
(A) Siphonostele (I) Dissected siphonostele with overlapping leaf gaps
(B) Solenostele (II) Siphonostele with scattered leaf gaps
(C) Dictyostele (III) Central core of xylem surrounded by phloem
(D) Protostele (IV) Medullated protostele

The correct match is:

EASY
Identify the pair of heterosporous pteridophytes among the following: 
HARD

Read the following combinations and arrange the below chronologically in the light of evolution.

i) Vascular Cryptogams - Ramenta

ii) Embryophytic non-archegoniate phanerogams - the presence of companion cells in the phloem

iii) Plant amphibians - elaters

iv) Tracheophytic archegoniate phanerogams - no vessels in the xylem

The correct sequence is 

MEDIUM

Assertion (A): In pteridophytes, the gametophytes require cool, damp, shady places to grow.

Reason R: Specific requirement and the need for water for fertilization, the spread of living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow geographical regions.

The correct answer is:

HARD

Choose correct pair from the following
I) Primary producers: Important step in evolution

II) Specific water requirement for fertilization of Pteridophytes: Restricted to narrow geographical regions

III) Growth of young embryo in female gametophyte: Food cycle of aquatic animals

IV) Colonization of mosses and Lichens on rocks: Ecological significance

EASY

Assertion (A): The development of zygote into young embryo with in female gametophyte indicates the precursor for the seed habit.

Reason (R) : In pteridophytes, the gametophyte requires cool, damp, shady place to grow.

The correct option among the following is:

EASY
From the evolution point of view, retention of the female gametophyte with developing young embryo on the parent sporophyte for some time, is first observed in:
MEDIUM
Arrange the functions of the following respectively:
(A) Elaters
(B) Indusium
(C) Agar
EASY
Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia produce two kinds of spores. Such plants are known as:
EASY

In which of the following books, characters of evolutionary importance were not considered while classifying plants?
A) Species plantarum
B) Families of flowering plants
C) Genera plantarum
D) Die Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien

EASY
In which of the following groups do the male and female gametophytes have independent, free-living existence?
EASY
Which one of the following organisms is a bryophyte?
MEDIUM

Assertion: In Bryophytes & Pteridophytes, the number of male gametes produced is several thousand times the number of female gametes produced.

Reason: A large number of male gametes fail to reach the female gametes during transport.

MEDIUM

Pteriodophytes, especially ferns possess the following characteristics

i) Circinate vernation

ii) Ramenta

iii) Eustele

iv) Paraphysis

The correct combination is 

MEDIUM
Read the following five statements (A to E) and select the option with all correct statements:

(b) Selaginella is a homosporous pteridophyte.
(c) Coralloid roots in Cycas have VAM.
(d) Main plant body in bryophytes is gametophytic, whereas in pteridophytes it is sporophytic.
(e) In gymnosperms, male and female gametophytes are present within sporangia located on sporophytes.
