Consider the following four statements:

I. The sporophyte of liverworts lives longer than those of mosses;

II. Sphagnum is heterosporous;

III. The lifecycle in all seed bearing plants is diplontic;

IV. In pinus, male and female cones are borne on the same plants.

Which of the two statements are wrong?

• A. Statements (I) & (III)
• B. Statements (I) & (IV)
• C. Statements (II) & (III)
• D. Statements (I) & (II)

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statements (I) & (IV)

Statements I and IV are wrong.
The correct explanation is:

The sporophyte of liverworts has lesser life span than that in mosses as they are mostly aquatic in habitat.

In pinus male and female cones are borne on the different plants (Monoecious).
