| 4. | Independent sporophyte |
| I: | the male and the female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence. |
| II: | vascular tissues [xylem and phloem] are present. |
| Assertion (A): | Water is required for transfer of male gametes to archegonium in ferns |
| Reason (R): | Ferns bear sporangia on gametophytes which in turn bear diploid sex organs |
| 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. |
| 1. | It is called artificial system because it is based on only one or two characters |
| 2. | It was based on androecium structure |
| 3. | It is also called sexual system as he chiefly used characters of stamens |
