The correct match is:

Choose correct pair from the following
Primary producers: Important step in evolution
Specific water requirement for fertilization of Pteridophytes: Restricted to narrow geographical regions
Growth of young embryo in female gametophyte: Food cycle of aquatic animals
Colonization of mosses and Lichens on rocks: Ecological significance



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.

Assertion In pteridophytes, the gametophytes require cool, damp, shady places to grow.
Reason 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:




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

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:


Pteriodophytes, especially ferns possess the following characteristics
i) Circinate vernation
ii) Ramenta
iii) Eustele
iv) Paraphysis
The correct combination is

(a) Mosses and lichens are the first organisms to colonize bare rock.
(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.



Reason: Heterosporous pteridophytes are endosporic.

Origin of seed habit or its foundation was laid down in some pteridophytes, but seed formation did not occur because of

Which of the given features are common for the following plants?
