Question

Two adjacent filaments of S p i r o g y r a blank a f f i n i s blankeach 10 cells participating in reproduction. How many new S p i r o g y r a plants are produced during sexual reproduction?

  1. 5  
  2. 10  
  3. 20  
  4. 40  

The correct answer is: 10


    In S p i r o g y r a blank a f f i n i s comma the sexual reproduction occurs through conjugation (indirect lateral) in which adjacent cells of same filament conjugate, the protoplast of one cell (male gamete) migrates to the other (female gamete) then these protoplasts fuse to form zygospore which on germination forms, a single new filament. Thus, from two adjacent filaments with 10 cells participating in reproduction 10 new filaments will be formed.

    The bryophytes are fundamentally terrestrial plants but require presence of water to complete their life cycle. The water is needed for
    I) dehiscence of antheridia
    II) liberation of antherozoids
    III) transfer of sperms from antheridia to archegonia
    IV) opening of archegonial neck
    V) the movement of antherozoids into the archegonial neck
    Which of the statements given above are correct?
