Assertion(A): | The precursor to seed habit is seen in heterosporous ferns |
Reason(R): | The female gametophyte is retained for variable periods in heterosporous ferns |
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. | (A) is False, but (R) is False |
From an evolutionary point of view, retention of the female gametophyte with developing young embryo on the parent sporophyte for some time, is first observed in:
1. | Gymnosperms | 2. | Liverworts |
3. | Mosses | 4. | Pteridophytes |
Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia produce two kinds of spores. Such plants are known as
1. | Homosporous | 2. | Heterosporous |
3. | Homosorus | 4. | Heterosorus |
