Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following is a false statement?

• A. Only heterotrophic and not photosynthetic protists are flagellated
• B. Among the protists, only green algae have a sexual life cycle
• C. Ciliates exchange genetic material during conjugation
• D. Slime molds have an amoeboid stage

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Only heterotrophic and not photosynthetic protists are flagellated
B Among the protists, only green algae have a sexual life cycle

Photosynthetic protists like dinoflagellates also have flagella. Green algae is not a protist.

So, the false statements are 'Only heterotrophic and not photosynthetic protists are flagellated' and 'Among the protists, only green algae have a sexual life cycle'.
