| Assertion (A): | Plant and animal kingdoms have been constant under all different classification systems. |

| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Slime molds:
| 1. | form plasmodium that differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during unfavourable conditions. |
| 2. | form plasmodium that differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during favourable conditions. |
| 3. | form plasmodium under favourable conditions and the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during unfavourable conditions. |
| 4. | form plasmodium under unfavourable conditions and the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips during favourable conditions. |
| 1. | protects the genetic material. |
| 2. | is infectious. |
| 3. | is composed of capsomeres made up of complex polysaccharides. |
| 4. | is a nucleoprotein. |
| Assertion (A): | Vegetative reproduction by fragmentation is common in basidiomycetes |
| Reason (R): | In club fungi, sexual spores are not formed during sexual reproduction |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion (A): | Sporozoans lack locomotory structures |
| Reason (R): | Sporozoans are parasites |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| (a) | Are chief producers in the ocean |
| (b) | Have silica impregnated cell membrane |
| (c) | Are called flagellated golden protists |

| 1. | Dikaryophase is the dominant phase of its life |
| 2. | Asexually reproduce by endogenously produced spores |
| 3. | Cell wall is made up of chitin and polysaccharides |
| 4. | It produces sexual spores |
| 1. | Large number of members of deuteromycetes are decomposers of litter and help in mineral cycling |
| 2. | Sex organs are absent in basidiomycetes but plasmogamy is brought about by fusion of the nuclei of the gametes |
| 3. | The asexual spores produced by ascomycetes are conidia, produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores |
| 4. | In ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, an intervening dikaryon stage exists before the fusion of parental nuclei |
| (i) | It was given by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker |
| (ii) | It was based on natural affinities among the organisms |
| (iii) | It takes into account not only the external features but also internal features |
| (iv) | Internal features like ultrastructure, anatomy, embryology and phytochemistry are also considered |
| (v) | Evolution is also taken into account |
