The unique feature of Bryophytes compared to other green plant groups is that:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 2

In bryophytes, zygotes donot undergo reduction division immediately. They produce a multicellular body called a sporophyte. The sporophyte is not a free-living but attached to the photosynthetic gametophyte and derives nourishment from it.

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 5

The Antherozoids of Bryophytes possess:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 5

The male sex organs in bryophytes are called as antheridia. They are borne on short multicellular stalks. Each antheridium is distinguishable into a stalk and the body. The antheridial body consists of a mass of androgonial cells covered by a 1-cell thick sterile jacket. These androgonial cells give rise to androcytes or antherozoid mother cells. Androcytes give rise to antherozoids. Antherozoids or spermatozoids are bi flagellate structure with a long coiled body. The antherozoids get transferred to archegonia by means of water for the fertilization.

Funaria is a genus of approximately 210 species of moss. Funaria hygrometrica is the most common species. Funaria hygrometricais called “cord moss” because of the twisted seta which is very hygroscopic and untwists when moist. The name is derived from the Latin word “funis”, meaning a rope. In funaria root like structures called Rhizoids are present.
Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 18

In Bryophytes what is absent :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 18

Bryophyta includes the simplest and primitive land plants, which are characterised by the persence of independent gametophyte and parasitic sporophyte. They are non-vascular land plants with undifferentiated plant body. the plant body is not divided into true leaves, stem and roots. In all bryophytes the ecologically persistent, photosynthetic phase of the life cycle is the haploid, gametophyte generation rather than the diploid sporophyte; bryophyte sporophytes are very short-lived, are attached to and nutritionally dependent on their gametophytes and consist of only an unbranched stalk, or seta, and a single, terminal sporangium. 

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 19

Because a thin layer of water is required fir the movement of sperm between gametophyte and fertilization of egg.
Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 20

Which statement is true about bryophytes that:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 20
The main plant body is gametophyte.the antherozoids fuses with egg to form zygote.zygote produces multicellular body called sporophyte.some cells of the sporophyte undergoes reductional division to produce haploid spores.these spores germinate to produce gametophyte.so option (C) is correct.

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 22

Bryophytes are:-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 22

Bryophytes are sciophytes, i.e. bryophytes prefer to grow in moist (wet) and shady places.

Sciophyte: Shade loving plants are called sciophytes. 

Example: Aegle , Nyctanthus.

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 23

Which type of fertilization is found in bryophytes :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 23

The male gametes are motile in bryophytes hence they follow zooidogamous fertilization.
(zooidogamous means motile gamete fertilization).

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 24

Mosses are gregarious because they :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 24
Mosses are nonvascular plants that fall under the phylum Bryophyta. These feather-like plants  grow abundantly in wild surrounding and moist climate where they can absorb water easily from  nature. Being non-vascular plants, the haploid spore undergoes indirect germination to produce a protonema or protonemata which is a mass of chlorophyllous thread-like filaments from which arises the leafy gametophytes. This thread like filaments which grows easily on damp soil, tree bark, rocks or even concrete making mosses gregarious in nature. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option B
Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 25

The only positive evidence of aquatic ancestry of bryophyte is

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 25

The Bryophytes occupy the position in between algae on one hand and the Pteridophytes on the other. With the exception of few aquatic forms they are truly land-inhabiting plants. They are found in humid and shady places. As water is indispensable for the act of fertilization, they are treated to be the amphibians of the plant kingdom. The gametophyte is highly developed and differentiated from that of a complex Alga. It is an independent plant at maturity. The sexual reproduction is of oogamous type, i.e., it takes place by means of gametes. The male gametes are motile (biflagellate) and known as antherozoids; the female gametes are non-motile and known as eggs (oosphere). The water is essential for the act of fertilization. The motile ciliated antherozoids swim in the film of water and reach to the neck of an archegonium.

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 26

Moss sporophyte is diffentiated in :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 26

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 27

Oblique septa are found in which part of moss :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 27
The gametophytic plant body of mosses are differentiated into prostate, branched filamentous, thalloid protonema and leafy erect gametophore.Rhizoids are multicellular branched with oblique septa.Sex organs develop from superficial cells at the apex of leafy gametophyte.Stomata and chlorophyll are present in gametphyte for gaseous exchange, e.g., Funaria.
Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 28

Leaves of Mosses and Ferns are :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 28

The ‘leaves’ of mosses and ferns were analogous, not homologous, because the former occurred in the gametophyte generation whereas the latter occurred in the sporophyte generation. 

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 29

Which of the following plants are similar to amphibia animals in requirement of water for fertilisation

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 29

Bryophytes need water as a medium for sexual reproduction .here male gamete are motile,and with the help of flagella they reaches female gamate( which is not motile) and fuses to form zygote whereas in pteridophytes, water is required for for transfer of antherozoids- the male gamate released from the antheridia , to reach to the mouth of archegonium and thus zygote is formed. In both bryophytes and pteridophytes the process of fertilisation cannot takes place in absence of water, they are similar to amphibia animals in requirement of water for fertilisation.

Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 30

The bryophyte which can absorb water upto 18 times of its weight :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Bryophytes - 1 (Old NCERT) - Question 30
Sphagnum that generally grows in bogs are slightly antiseptic and can absorb large amount of water i.e., upto 18 times its weight. On account of these properties they may be used for filling absorbent bandage in place of cotton, in the hospitals. The plants absorb and hold water in them. For these properties they are used in seed beds and green houses to root cuttings. They are also used to maintain high soil acidity required by certain plants.
