What is the function of the gemmae produced by some liverworts?
1. a water gathering structure
2. a light gathering structure
3. a sexual structure
4. an asexual structure
Regarding Marchantia:
I: | The thallus is dorsi-ventral and closely appressed to the substrate. |
II: | The plant is monoecious. |
1. | Both I and II are incorrect |
2. | Only I is incorrect |
3. | Only I is correct |
4. | Both I and II are correct |
I: | Asexual reproduction is not seen. |
II: | Sexual reproduction takes place by multicellular gemmae. |
The given diagram shows:
1. Male thallus of Marchantia
2. Female thallus of Marchantia
3. Sphagnum sporophyte
4. Sphagnum gametophyte
Identify the incorrectly matched comparison between liverworts and mosses:
Character |

2. Gametophyte, Sporophyte, Female branch, Male branch
3. Sporophyte, Gametophyte, Male branch, Female branch
4. Gametophyte, Sporophyte, Male branch, Female branch
1. Only I | 2. Only II |
3. Both I and II | 4. Neither I nor II |
