Why are bryophytes often called the amphibians of the plant kingdom?
- A. They live on land but require water for sexual reproduction
- B. They spend half their life submerged and half on land
- C. They possess gills during one stage
- D. They alternate between aquatic and terrestrial sporophytes
Which of the following statements is true ?
- A. All pteridophytes exhibit haplo-diplontic pattern.
- B. Seed bearing plants follow haplontic pattern
- C. Most algal genera are diplontic
- D. Most bryophytes do not have haplo-diplontic life cycle.
Given below are two statements : One labelled as Assertion A and the other labelled as Reason R: Assertion A : The first stage of gametophyte in the life cycle of moss is protonema stage. Reason R : Protonema develops directly from spores produced in capsule. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from options given below:
- A. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- B. A is correct but R is not correct
- C. A is not correct but R is correct
- D. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Gemmae are present in
- A. Some Liverworts
- B. Mosses
- C. Pteridophytes
- D. Some Gymnosperms
A small land plant has a leafy gametophyte, produces flagellated male gametes and bears a sporophyte that remains attached to the gametophyte. Which group is the best fit?
- A. Bryophytes
- B. Gymnosperms
- C. Angiosperms
- D. Brown algae
Bryophytes are called the amphibians of the plant kingdom. Which pair of facts together justifies the name?
- A. They live only in water, but release their spores in air
- B. They have vascular tissue for land life and gills for water
- C. They can live on land, but their biflagellate antherozoids must swim in water to reach the archegonium
- D. Their sporophyte is aquatic and their gametophyte terrestrial
Gemmae are green, multicellular, asexual buds produced in small receptacles. Which organism produces them, and what happens to a gemma once it detaches?
- A. Funaria, a moss; it grows into a protonema
- B. Sphagnum, a moss; it forms peat
- C. Polytrichum, a moss; it develops into a sporophyte
- D. Marchantia, a liverwort; it germinates to form a new plant
Common mistakes in Bryophytes - liverworts and mosses
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Reverses the two gametophyte stages, or places sex organs on the sporophyte.
- Reads 'more elaborate sporophyte' as 'reduced gametophyte', which is not the bryophyte condition.
