Statement I: The leaves in Pteridophyta are small (microphylls) as in Selaginella or large (macrophylls) as in ferns.
Statement II: In the majority of the Pteridophytes, all the spores are of different kinds; such plants are called heterosporous.

Arrange the following plants with their respective classes in the same order. Sphenopsida, Psilopsida, Pteropsida, Lycopsida, Gnetopsida

A) Selaginella
B) Equisitum
C) Sphagnum
D) Adiantum
E) Psilotum
F) Gnetum

The correct match is:

Assertion $\left(\mathrm{A}\right):$ In pteridophytes, the gametophytes require cool, damp, shady places to grow.

Reason $\left(\mathrm{R}\right):$ 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:

Choose correct pair from the following
$\mathrm{I})$ Primary producers: Important step in evolution

$\mathrm{II})$ Specific water requirement for fertilization of Pteridophytes: Restricted to narrow geographical regions

$\mathrm{III})$ Growth of young embryo in female gametophyte: Food cycle of aquatic animals

$\mathrm{IV})$ Colonization of mosses and Lichens on rocks: Ecological significance

Identify the figures given below marked as A, B, C, and D.

Assertion: In Bryophytes & Pteridophytes, the number of male gametes produced is several thousand times the number of female gametes produced.

Reason: A large number of male gametes fail to reach the female gametes during transport.

Pteriodophytes, especially ferns possess the following characteristics

i) Circinate vernation

ii) Ramenta

iii) Eustele

iv) Paraphysis

The correct combination is
