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) |
| 2. | Both (A) & (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
| 3. | (A) is true statement but (R) is false |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false statements |
| 1. | The haploid generation grows on the sporophyte generation |
| 2. | Spores are primarily distributed by water currents |
| 3. | Antheridia and archegonia are produced by gametophytes |
| 4. | The sporophyte generation is dominant |
| List I | List II |
| A. Colonial algae | I. Cycas |
