MCQ
Given below are two statements:One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: The first stage of gametophyte in the life cycle of moss is protonema stage.
Reason R: Protonema develops indirectly from spores produced in capsule.
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  • A
    A is not correct but R is correct
  • B
    Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C
    Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • A is correct but R is not correct.

Answer

Correct option: D.
A is correct but R is not correct.
(D)
Mosses spores released from the capsule germinate to form the filamentous structure called protonema. It is the first stage of gametophyte.

(iii) There are usually less than six xylem bundles in the monocot root.
(iv) The outer hypodermis consists of few layers of collenchymatous cells just below the epidermis, which provide mechanical strength to the young stem.
(v) The cells of the hypodermis are rich in starch grains and the layer is also referred to as the starch sheath.
(vi) A large number of vascular bundles are arranged in a ring; the 'ring' arrangement of vascular bundles is a characteristic of dicot stem.
(vii) The monocot stem has a sclerenchymatous hypodermis and a large number of scattered vascular bundles.

(ix) The sizes of the vascular bundles are dependent on the size of the veins.
(x) In grasses, certain adaxial epidermal cells along the veins modify themselves into large, empty, coloured cells. These are called buliform cells.
(xi) The tissues involved in secondary growth are the two lateral meristems: vascular cambium and cork cambium.
(xii) In dicot stems, the cells of cambium present between primary xylem and primary phloem is the intrafascicular cambium.
(xiii) The cells of medullary rays adjoining interfascicular cambium become meristematic and form the intrafascicular cambium.
