Consider the following statements regarding green algae:

I. Pigments are located in definite plastids
II. Most have pyrenoids in chloroplasts
III. Cell wall has an inner layer of pectose and outer layer of cellulose

1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are correct

Which of the following regarding Cycas is incorrect?
1. Pinnate leaves persist for a few years
2. Male and female cones are born on different plants
3. Coralloid roots are in association with cynobacteria
4. Homosporous gymnosperm

Which of the following does not belong to the class Pteropsida?

Coralloid roots in Cycas are associated with nitrogen fixing:

All the following regarding Pinus are correct except:
1. Obligate association with mycorrhiza
2. Unbranched stems
3. Male and female strobili on the same plant
4. Leaves in fascicles

Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms:
1. the male and female gametophytes do not have an independent existence
2. the vascular tissue is poorly developed
3. the reproduction is dependent on water in most cases
4. the plants bodies are clearly differentiated into root, stem and leaves

Vegetative reproduction in mosses is by:
1. Fragmentation and budding in secondary protonema
2. Only budding in secondary protonema
3. Adventitious roots and budding in secondary protonema
4. Fragmentation and budding in sporophyte

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

Female sex organs of gymnosperms are called:

The term ‘strobilus’ in a gymnosperm defines a:
1. collection of megasporophylls
2. collection of microsporophylls
3. site of sporangial development
4. collection of megasporophylls, microsporophylls and/or a site of sporangial development
