Sargassum belongs to brown algae which possess chl a, c, carotenoids, xanthophyll and a characteristic brown pigment, fucoxanthin. Commonly known forms of basidiomycetes are mushrooms, bracket fungi or puffballs. In Spirogyra gametes are non-flagellated (non-motile) but similar in size. They show amoeboid movements.

Topic in NCERT: Sexual reproduction in algae

Line in NCERT: "sexual reproduction shows considerable variation in the type and formation of sex cells and it may be isogamous, anisogamous or oogamous."

Which one of the following pairs is wrongly matched? [2012M]

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Salvinia is heterosporoues water fern. the microsporangia and megasporangia are borne with a special reproductive structure called sporocarps. These are borne termonaly on clusters on a segment of submerged leaves. Sporocarps are strictly monosporangiates i.e they either bear microsporangia or megasporangia.

Viroids  are single stranede RNA molecules. The female reproductive organ is archegonia in gymnosperms.

Topic in NCERT: Pteridophytes

Line in NCERT: "genera like selaginella and salvinia which produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores, are known as heterosporous."
