Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 4

Ulothrix is a genus of filamentous green algae, generally found in fresh and marine water. Its cells are normally as broad as they are long, and they thrive in the low temperatures of spring and winter. They become attached to surfaces by a modified holdfast cell. Reproduction is normally vegetative.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 5

The number of flagella in the gametes of Ulothrix is -

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 5

Zygospore undergoes zygotic meiosis and forms 4 haploid nuclei of which three degenerate. So one haploid nuclei take part and one new filament is formed.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 6

The non-motile, highly thickened asexual spores are called-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 6

Chlamydomonas is a motile unicellular alga and belongs to the genus of green algae. This is found in stagnant water, freshwater, seawater, damp soil and even in snow. Asexual reproduction in algae takes place through the production of spores. When zoospores lose their motility these are referred to as aplanospores and in certain green algae these aplanospores have thickened walls and are known as hypnospores. These are resting spores released in the dormant state. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option A

Test: Ulothrix - Question 7

The basal cell of Ulothrix is devoid of-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 7

The cells of the filaments are arranged end to end. They are barrel-shaped or cylindrical in shape. The apical cell is somewhat rounded at its terminal end whereas, the basal cell is elongated and does not have chlorophyll. It is also called as the basal holdfast, which attaches the filament to the substratum.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 8

In Ulothrix reduction division occurs-

The akinete formed during unfavourable conditions in the Ulothrix life cycle is-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 10

An akinete is an enveloped, thick-walled, non-motile, dormant cell formed by filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria under the order Nostocales and Stigonematales. Once conditions become more favorable for growth, the akinete can then germinate back into a vegetative cell.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 11

Which cell of Ulothrix does not divide-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 11

Ulothrix is a genus of filamentous green algae, generally found in fresh and marine water. Its cells are normally as broad as they are long, and they thrive in the low temperatures of spring and winter. They become attached to surfaces by a modified holdfast cell. Reproduction is normally vegetative.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 12

In Ulothrix, colony formation occurs during-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 12

Asexual reproduction takes place in winter, during its active growth. It takes place by the formation of zoospores, akinetes and palmella stage. a.The protoplast either develops into single zoospore (U. fimbriata) or undergoes division and form 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 units.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 13

In Ulothrix, eye spot does not occurs in-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 13

The eyespot or stigma is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate of green algae like Chlamydomonas and some other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenoids. It allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it by swimming either towards the light (positive phototaxis) or away from the light (negative phototaxis). A related response occurs when cells are briefly exposed to high light intensity, causing the cell to stop, briefly swim backward, then change swimming direction. Eyespot-mediated light perception helps the cells in finding an environment with optimal light conditions for photosynthesis. Eyespots are the simplest and most common "eyes" found in nature, composed of photoreceptors and areas of bright orange-red pigment granules. Signals relayed from the eyespot photoreceptors result in alteration of the beating pattern of the flagella, generating a phototactic response.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 14

In Ulothrix, gametes are released in-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 14

Sexual reproduction of Ulothrix begins after the growth period/ Vegetative season. Sporophytic generation is represented only by the zygote. In the life cycle of Ulothrix, Zygote is very short in duration. Gametes are formed in semi drying condition and released in the morning.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 15

Which type of spores fix to substratum by anterior end at the time of germination-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 15

When zoospores settle on any substratum, the cysts almost invariably germinate towards the host. This raises the possibility that zoospores might pre- align during encystment.
Calcium has an important role in zoospores motility. It is also required for cyst adhesion and subsequent cyst germination.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 16

If Ulothrix is removed from water and placed in dry soil then it will produce-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 16

An akinete is formed under an unfavourable condition. It is an enveloped, thick- walled, non- motile, dormant cell formed by filamentous, heterocyst- forming cyanobacteria, ulothrix under the order Nostocales and Stigonematales. Akinetes are resistant to cold and desiccation.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 17

When single thick walled aplanospore is produced in a cell of Ulothrix it is called-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 17

Hypnospores: Under certain conditions the aplanospores secrete thick walls around them and store abundant food reserves. These thick walled aplanospores are called the hypnospores. Because of the thick wall, hypnospore may undergo a long resting period and may survive even in some unfavourable conditions (Ulothrix).

Test: Ulothrix - Question 18

Which type of gametes are produced in Ulothrix-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 18

In most species, all the cells can form reproductive bodies. Ulothrix reproduces vegetatively by fragmentation, asexually by nonmotile resting spores (aplanospores) and motile quadriflagellate spores (zoospores), and sexually by biflagellate gametes.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 19

Ulothrix is-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 19

Ulothrix is heterothallic. It means fusing isogametes have different strains genetically. Sexual reproduction of Ulothrix begins after the growth period/ Vegetative season.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 20

Ulothrix inhabits-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 20

Ulothrix is a genus of filamentous green algae, generally found in fresh and marine water. Its cells are normally as broad as they are long, and they thrive in the low temperatures of spring and winter. They become attached to surfaces by a modified holdfast cell. Reproduction is normally vegetative.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 21

Cells of Ulothrix are-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 21

Filaments unbranched, attached by a single basal rhizoidal cell, or rhizoids arising from other cells. Cells cylindrical, longer or shorter; chloroplast parietal, girdle-shaped, usually lobed, encircling normally over three quarters of the cell, with one or more pyrenoids.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 22

Pyrenoids are composed of-

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 22

Unlike carboxysomes, pyrenoids are not delineated by a protein shell (or membrane). A starch sheath is often formed or deposited at the periphery of pyrenoids, even when that starch is synthesised in the cytosol rather than in the chloroplast.

Test: Ulothrix - Question 23

Why Ulothrix is not considered a linear colony of cells-
Hint : In a colony cells mechanically held together generally in a gelatinous envelope. The cells in the colony have little or no dependence upon one another

Detailed Solution for Test: Ulothrix - Question 23

Linear means no connections.
But Ulothrix is having plasmodesmatal connections. They are the connections of cytoplasms of neighbouring cells established through the plasmodesmata. The plant cells exchange small molecules with their neighboring cells through these plasmodesmatal connections.
