In bryophytes and pteridophytes, transport of male gametes requires?
| 1. | insects | 2. | birds |
| 3. | water | 4. | wind |
In ferns, Meiosis takes place at the time of:
1. Spore formation
2. Spore germination
3. Gamete formation
4. Antheridia and archegonia formation
Which one of the following pairs of plants are not seed producers:
1. Fern and Funaria
2. Funaria and Ficus
3. Ficus and Chlamydomonas
4. Punica and Pinus
A prothallus is
| 1. | a structure in pteridophytes formed before the thallus develops |
| 2. | a sporophytic free living structure formedin pteridophytes |
| 3. | a gametophyte free living structure formed in pteridophytes |
| 4. | a primitive structure formed after fertilisation in pteridophytes |
| List-I | List-II | ||
| (a) | Chlamydomonas | (i) | Moss |

Strobili or cones are found in:
| 1. | Pteris | 2. | Marchantia |
| 3. | Equisetum | 4. | Salvinia |
Examine the figures A, B, C and D. In which one of the four options all the items, A, B, C and D are correct?
Options :
| A | B | C | D | |
| 1. | Equisetum | Ginkgo | Selaginella | Lycopodium |
| 2. | Selaginella | Equisetum | Salvinia | Ginkgo |
| 3. | Funaria | Adiantum | Salvinia | Riccia |
| 4. | Chara | Marchantia | Fucus | Pinus |
1. Dryopteris
2. Salvinia
3. Adiantum
4. Equisetum
Selaginella and Salvinia are considered to represent a significant step towards the evolution of seed habit because:
| 1. | Embryo develops in female gametophyte which is retained on parent sporophyte. |
| 2. | Female gametophyte is free and gets dispersed like seeds. |
| 3. | Female gametophyte lacks archegonia. |
| 4. | Megaspores possess endosperm and embryo surrounded by a seed coat. |
