Which one of the following structures is haploid in its ploidy level?
1. Primary Endospore Nucleus
2. Microspore Mother cell
3. Protonemal cell of a moss
4. Primary endosperm nucleus in dicot
Beginning with the germination of a moss spore, what is the sequence of structures that develop after germination?
| i. | embryo |
| ii. | gametes |
| iii. | sporophyte |
| iv. | protonema |
| v. | gametophore |
| 1. | iv →i → iii → v → ii |
| 2. | iv → iii → v → ii → i |
| 3. | iv → v → ii → i → iii |
| 4. | iii → iv → v → ii → i |
| Assertion(A): | Mosses are evolved from algae. |
| Reason(R): | Protonema of mosses is similar to some green algae. |
| 1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
