Read the below characteristics of organisms belonging to the Plant Kingdom and choose the wrong one.
Options
- ASelaginella is a pteridophytes which is produces two types of spores
- BPinus is a gymnosperms with a branched stem
- CFucus is an algae with haplo-diplontic life cycle
- DFunaria is a bryophytes with protonema stage
Correct answer
C. Fucus is an algae with haplo-diplontic life cycle
Step-by-step solution
In the majority of the pteridophytes, all the spores are of similar kinds; such plants are called homosporous. Genera like Selaginella and Salvinia which produce two kinds of spores, macro (large) and micro (small) spores, are known as heterosporous. The stems of gymnosperms are unbranched (Cycas) or branched (Pinus, Cedrus). The predominant stage of the life cycle of a moss is the gametophyte which consists of two stages. The first stage is the protonema stage, which develops directly from a spore. It is a creepin
