Gametophyte and sporophyte are independent of each other in which of the following groups?
Pteridophytes
Angiosperms
Gymnosperms
Bryophytes
A.
Pteridophytes
Bryophytes are non vascular terrestrial plants of moist habitats in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte lives as a parasite on an independent multicellular haploid gametophyte that develops multicellular jacketed sex organs. Whereas, in pteridophytes, the main plant body is a sporophyte which is differentiated into true root, stem and leaves and gametophyte is small or inconspicuous, it is usually independent.
Assertion : Sphagnum is slowly carbonised, compressed and fossilised over thousands of years to produce a dark spongy mass called peat.
Reason : Peat helps to keep soil porous and it also improves water holding capacity of the soil.

If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false
Assertion: In basidiomycetes, basidiospores are produced endogenously in the basidium.
Reason: In ascomycetes, ascospores are produced exogenously in ascus.

Which of the following groups of algae produces algin?
Phaeophyceae and Chlorophyceae
Rhodophyceae and Phaeophyceae
Chlorophyceae and Rhodophyceae
Phaeophyceae only
Assertion: Presence of large amounts of nutrients in water body causes excessive growth of planktonic algae.
Reason: It is due to biomagnification.

Occurrence of triploid (3n) primary endosperm nucleus is a characteristic feature of
Algae
Gymnosperms
Angiosperms
Bryophytes
Which of the following is not an invasive species?

Nelumbo (lotus)
Lantana camara
Eichhornia crassipes
In which of the following sets of organisms, does the external fertilization occur?
Echinodermata and mosses

Assertion: The leaves in gymosperms are well adapted to with stand extremes of temperature, humidity and wind.
Reason: Unlike bryophytes and pteridophytes, in gymnosperms the male and female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence.
