A student observed algae with chlorophyll 'a', 'd', and phycoerythrin. It should belong to:
1. | Phaeophyta | 2. | Rhodophyta |
3. | Chlorophyta | 4. | Bacillariophyta |
Select the wrong statement :
1. | Anisogametes differ either in structure, function or behaviour |
2. | In Oomycetes, female gamete is smaller and motile, while male gamete is larger and non-motile |
3. | Chlamydomonas exhibits both isogamy and anisogamy and Fucus shows oogamy |
4. | Isogametes are similar in structure, function and behaviour |
In oogamy, fertilization involves:

2. | A large non-motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete |
3. | A large motile female gamete and a small non-motile male gamete |
4. | A small non-motile female gamete and a large motile male gamete |
