Choose correct pair from the following
Primary producers: Important step in evolution
Specific water requirement for fertilization of Pteridophytes: Restricted to narrow geographical regions
Growth of young embryo in female gametophyte: Food cycle of aquatic animals
Colonization of mosses and Lichens on rocks: Ecological significance

Assertion In pteridophytes, the gametophytes require cool, damp, shady places to grow.
Reason Specific requirement and the need for water for fertilization, the spread of living pteridophytes is limited and restricted to narrow geographical regions.
The correct answer is:


(a) Mosses and lichens are the first organisms to colonize bare rock.
(b) Selaginella is a homosporous pteridophyte.
(c) Coralloid roots in Cycas have VAM.
(d) Main plant body in bryophytes is gametophytic, whereas in pteridophytes it is sporophytic.
