| I: | A is the gametophyte and B is the sporophyte. |
| II: | The ploidy of cells in A will be haploid and the ploidy of cells in B will be diploid. |
| 1. | Pteridophyte | 2. | Monocot angiosperm |
| 3. | Dicot angiosperm | 4. | Gymnosperm |
| I: | Ulothrix is a colonial alga. |
| II: | Volvox is a filamentous alga. |
| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
| 3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
| Statement I: | Green algae are usually grass green due to the dominance of pigments chlorophyll a and b. |
| Statement II: | Red algae vary in colour from olive green to various shades of brown depending upon the amount of fucoxanthin. |
| Assertion (A): | Mosses reduce the impact of falling rain and prevent soil erosion. |
| Reason (R): | Mosses form dense mats on the soil. |
| 1. | (A) is True and (R) is False. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is False and (R) is True. |

| I. | Root symbiosis | Cyanobacteria | Mycorrhiza |
| II. | Stems | Branched | Unbranched |
| III. | Male and female cones | On different trees | On the same tree |
| I: | the male and the female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence. |
| II: | vascular tissues [xylem and phloem] are present. |
| Statement I: | Systematics takes into account evolutionary relationships between organisms. |
| Statement II: | Taxonomy takes into account only some easily observable external characters of organisms. |
In a moss, the sporophyte
| 1. | Manufactures food for itself, as well as for the gametophyte |
| 2. | Arises from a spore produced from gametophyte |
| 3. | Is partially parasitic on the gametophyte |
| 4. | Produces gametes that give rise to the gametophyte |
