| Assertion (A): | The artificial systems used for classification of living organisms are not very acceptable to taxonomists. |
| Reason (R): | The artificial systems give more weightage to vegetative characteristics and no weightage to sexual characteristics and the sexual characteristics are easily affected by environment. |

| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
| I: | Many species of Porphyra, Laminaria and Sargassum are used as food. |
| II: | Hydrocolloids (water holding substances), e.g., algin from red algae and carrageen from brown algae are used commercially. |
| III: | Agar is obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria. |
| IV: | Chlorella a unicellular alga rich in proteins is used as food supplement. |
The bryophytes are also called as the amphibians of plants kingdom mainly because:
1. they respire through the moist epidermis
2. they depend on water for sexual reproduction
3. they require more water than most plants
4. they lack true roots
| 1. | Presence of flowers |
| 2. | Production of seeds |
| 3. | Dependence on water for fertilization |
| 4. | Presence of vascular tissues |
