In Ulothrix meiosis takes place in

• cells of the filament

• holdfast

• zygote

• zoospores.

Mossess and ferns are found in moist and shady places because both

• require presence of water for fertilization

• do not need sunlight for photosynthesis

• depend for their nutrition on microorganisms which can survive only at low temperature

• cannot compete with sun-loving plants.

People recovering from long illness are often advised to include the alga Spirulina in their diet because it

• makes the food easy to digest

• is rich in proteins

• has antibiotic properties

• restores the intestinal microtlora

Azolla is used as a biofertilizer because it

• multiplies very fast to produce massive biomass

• has association of nitrogen - fixing Rhizobium

• has association of nitrogen - fixing cyanobacteria

• has association of mycorrhiza
