What is megasporangium?
Important Questions on Plant Kingdom

Xylem and phloem are main conducting elements.
Pollen grains are carried by wind.
Transfer of pollen is direct.
Ovules develop into seeds after fertilisation.





Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R :
Assertion A : In gymnosperms the pollen grains are released from the microsporangium and carried by air currents.
Reason R: Air currents carry the pollen grains to the mouth of the archegonia where the male gametes are discharged and pollen tube is not formed.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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:





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.

List- | List- | ||
(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:


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
