Q

How far does Selaginella fall short of seed habit?

A

Selaginella gives rise to two kinds of spores, megaspores and microspores. These spores germinate and give rise to male and female gametophytes. But, due to lack of integument around the megasporangium, Selaginella falls short of seed habit

Q

The heterosporous pteridophytes exhibit certain characteristics which are precursors to the seed habits in gymnosperms. Explain.

A

1-Heterospory is the production of two types of spores; the megaspores and the microspores.
2- The microspores produce male gametophyte which produces male gametes.
3- the megaspores produce female gametophyte which produces archegonia and provides nourishment to the embryo.
4- heterospory leads to a reduction of the gametophyte and in pteridophytes forms the base of seed habits in gymnosperms.

23
Q

What is the importance of Algae?

A

4-which are used as a source of food.
5-They are a source of crude oil

24
Q

How is gametophyte a dominant phase in the life cycle of bryophytes?

A

1- Gametophyte bears the male reproductive organ antheridia and female reproductive organ archegonia
2-producing male gametes (antherozoids) and female gametes (egg cell)
3-The antherozoid fuses with the egg to produce a zygote. Zygote forms a multicellular body known as the sporophyte.

25
Q

Describe the life cycle of a plant.

A

1- starts as a seed.
2-the seed germinate and grow as a plant 3-the plant produce flowers.
4-after fertilization the flower produce fruits.
5- fruits contain seeds

26
Q

What do you mean by double fertilization

A

one male gamete fertilizes the egg and forms a diploid zygote. The other male gametes fuse with the two polar nuclei forming a triploid zygote that develops into the endosperm. This is known as double fertilization

27
Q

What do you mean by triple fusion

A

The three haploid nuclei fuse to form endosperm. It is known as triple fusion.

28
Q

What are parasitic algae?

A

1-also called as the common plant pathogen.
2-commonly seen in warm, humid climates and are usually found in the leathery leaf plants such as litchi, hollies, magnolias, and viburnums
3-Parasitic algae are the major causes of foliar disease and red rust of tea leaf.
4- ex: Cephaleuros (green algae)

29
Q

List any two differences’ between gymnosperms & angiosperms?

A

Angiosperms Gymnosperms
A-The lifecycle of these plants are seasonal. G- These plants are evergreen.
A- It has triploid tissue.
G-It has haploid tissue.
A- Leaves are flat in shape.
G-Leaves are scalelike and needle-like in shape.
A-Hardwood type
G-Softwood type

30
Q

Classify plant kingdom?

A

5-angiosperms

31
Q

Describe the main features of pteridophytes?

A

1- They are seedless,
2- vascular plants that show true alternation of generations
3- the sporophyte has true roots, stems and leaves.
4- They reproduce by spores, which are developed in sporangia.
5- They may be homosporous or heterosporous.

32
Q

Describe the similarities in sexual reproduction of moss & fern

A

Their mode of sexual reproduction is oogamous.
- The female gamete (archegonia) is non-motile while the male gamete (antheridia) is motile.
- Their sperms are flagellate.
- External fertilization occurs i.e. water is needed for the sperm to reach the archegonia.
- Their embryo depends on the gametophytic phase.
- Both shows heteromorphic alternation of generation.
- Both are mostly found in moist, shady locations.
