31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Plant Kingdom - 2 - Question 18

Which one of the following has haplontic life cycle? [2009]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Plant Kingdom - 2 - Question 18

Ustilago has a haplontic life cycle. This is a simplest and most primitive type of life cycle. The other pattern of life-cycle have originated from this type. This type is found in all Chlorophyceae. In such cases the somatic phase (plant) is haploid (Gametophyte) while the diploid phase (Sporophyte) is represented by zygote. During germination the zygote (2n) divides meiotically producing haploid (n) zoospores, which develop into individual plant. Here the unicellular or filamentous gametophyte (n) alternates with one-celled zygote or sporophyte (2n). The haploid filamentous plants are known as haplonts which reproduce asexually by zoospores or aplanospores producing the individals like parents.

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Plant Kingdom - 2 - Question 24

Elater is an elongated, spirally thickened, water-attracting cell in the capsule of a liverwort, derived from sporogenous tissue and assist in spore dispersal. In mosses calyptra is a structure initially present around sporophyte then later get break. It is developed from ventral wall after fertilization. It provides protective covering to the developing sporogonium. Peristome teeth are found in capsule of  moss. These are present below operculum and are hygroscopic in nature.
