Select the mismatch

Detailed Solution: Question 1

  1. Pinus - Dioecious: Pinus species are actually monoecious, meaning that both male and female cones are present on the same tree. Therefore, this statement is a mismatch.

  2. Cycas - Dioecious: Cycas, a type of cycads, is indeed dioecious, meaning male and female reproductive structures are on separate individuals. This statement is correct.

  3. Salvinia - Heterosporous: Salvinia, a genus of aquatic ferns, is indeed heterosporous, meaning it produces two types of spores: microspores and megaspores. This statement is correct.

  4. Equisetum - Homosporous: Equisetum, commonly known as horsetails, is indeed homosporous, producing only one type of spore that develops into a bisexual gametophyte. This statement is correct.

Thus, the mismatch is:

(1) Pinus - Dioecious

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 2
Save

In which group of plants does the sporophyte not have a free-living stage?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

In Bryophytes, the sporophyte does not have a free-living stage. It is dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition and support. This contrasts with other plant groups like Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms, where the sporophyte is the dominant, free-living stage of the life cycle.

Topic in NCERT: gametophyte

Line in NCERT: "The main plant body of the bryophyte is haploid. It produces gametes, hence is called a gametophyte."

Pteridophytes differ from mosses/ bryophytes in possessing

Detailed Solution: Question 3

  • Pteridophytes are most primitive vascular flowerless, spore-producing cryptogamic land plants, commonly called vascular cryptogams.
  • They are sometimes called as Amphibians/botanical snakes/spore producing seedless tracheophytes.
  • They are the first vascular land plants to have an independent sporophyte diploid plant body with true root, stem and leaves.
  • In contrast bryophytes, the amphibians of the plant kingdom are devoid of true roots, stem, and leaves, with no vascular supply but root-like, non-vascular rhizoids, leaf-like, and stem-like structures are present.

Hence, the correct option is C.
NCERT Reference: Topic “PTERIDOPHYTES” of chapter Plant Kingdom. 

Topic in NCERT: PTERIDOPHYTES

Line in NCERT: "The Pteridophytes include horsetails and ferns. Evolutionarily, they are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues - xylem and phloem."

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 5
Save

Sporophyte is differentiated into a foot, a seta, and a capsule in:

I. Liverworts
II. Mosses

Detailed Solution: Question 5

In liverworts:The sporophyte is differentiated into a foot, seta and capsule. After meiosis, spores are produced within the capsule. These spores germinate to form free-living gametophytes.

In mosses:After fertilisation, the zygote develops into a sporophyte, consisting of a foot, seta and capsule. The sporophyte in mosses is more elaborate than that in liverworts. The capsule contains spores. Spores are formed after meiosis. The mosses have an elaborate mechanism of spore dispersal

Topic in NCERT: Mosses

Line in NCERT: "The sporophyte is differentiated into a foot, seta and capsule."

Laminaria and Fucus belong to:

Detailed Solution: Question 6

  • The common forms of Brown algae or Phaeophyceae are Ectocarpus, Dictyota, Laminaria, Sargassum and Fucus. 
  • The brown color of these algae is due to xanthophyll pigment called fucoxanthin.
  • Laminaria is also called kelp. It is the largest and most complex brown algae.


Hence, the correct option is B
NCERT Reference: Topic “Phaeophyceae” of chapter Plant Kingdom.

In which pteridophytes, heterosporous is produced?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

  • Heterospory refers to the production of spores of two different sizes and developmental patterns: microspores for males and megaspores for females.
  • Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia which produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores are known as heterosporous.

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 8
Save

Detailed Solution: Question 8

The pteridophytes are further classified into four classes: Psilopsida (Psilotum); Lycopsida (Selaginella, Lycopodium), Sphenopsida (Equisetum) and Pteropsida (Dryopteris, Pteris, Adiantum).

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 9
Save

Assertion (A): Cycads have coralloid roots that participate in nitrogen fixation.

Reason (R): Coralloid roots form a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria, which are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen.

Detailed Solution: Question 9

Cycads are known for their specialized coralloid roots, which harbor symbiotic cyanobacteria capable of nitrogen fixation. This symbiotic relationship allows cycads to thrive in nitrogen-poor soils, as the cyanobacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plants can use. This mutualistic interaction is crucial for the nutrient uptake of cycads, making the reason a correct explanation for the assertion.

Topic in NCERT: GYMNOSPERMS

Line in NCERT: "small specialised roots called coralloid roots are associated with N2- fixing cyanobacteria."

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 10

Many species of Porphyra, Laminaria and Sargassum are among the 70 species of marine algae used as food.

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 11
Save

What are the two main stages of the gametophyte in a moss life cycle?

Detailed Solution: Question 11

The predominant stage of the life cycle of a moss is the gametophyte which consists of two stages. The first stage is the protonema stage, which develops directly from a spore. It is a creeping, green, branched and frequently filamentous stage. The second stage is the leafy stage, which develops from the secondary protonema as a lateral bud. They consist of upright, slender axes bearing spirally arranged leaves. They are attached to the soil through multicellular and branched rhizoids. This stage bears the sex organs.

Topic in NCERT: Moss Life Cycle

Line in NCERT: "The predominant stage of the life cycle of a moss is the gametophyte which consists of two stages. The first stage is the protonema stage, which develops directly from a spore. The second stage is the leafy stage, which develops from the secondary protonema as a lateral bud."

Consider the following statements regarding green algae:
I.Pyrenoids contain protein besides starch
II.Most of the members have one or more storage bodies called pyrenoids located in the chloroplasts
III. Cell wall has an inner layer of pectose and outer layer of cellulose

Detailed Solution: Question 12

Topic in NCERT: Chlorophyceae

Line in NCERT: "The pigments are localised in definite chloroplasts. Most of the members have one or more storage bodies called pyrenoids located in the chloroplasts. Green algae usually have a rigid cell wall made of an inner layer of cellulose and an outer layer of pectose."

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):

Assertion (A): Heterospory in some pteridophytes paved the way for the evolution of seeds in higher plants.
Reason (R): The megaspores and microspores in heterosporous ferns give rise to female and male gametophytes respectively.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Detailed Solution: Question 13

Assertion (A) is true because heterospory (the production of two types of spores, microspores and megaspores) is an evolutionary step that led to the development of seeds in higher plants. Reason (R) is also true as it correctly describes the role of megaspores and microspores in heterosporous ferns. However, while (R) is true, it is not the direct explanation of how heterospory led to the evolution of seeds, which involves more complex evolutionary transitions beyond just the production of different spore types.

Topic in NCERT: Heterospory and Gametophyte Development

Line in NCERT: "The megaspores and microspores germinate and give rise to female and male gametophytes, respectively. This event is a precursor to the seed habit considered an important step in evolution."

Test: Plant Kingdom - 1 - Question 14
