Question

Identify the wrong combination.

• A. Dryopteris - Rhizome
• B. Cycas - Coralloid roots
• C. Volvox - Colonial form
• D. Marchantia - Pseudo elaters

Answer 1

The correct option is D Marchantia - Pseudo elaters

Dryopteris is a terrestrial fern, where the rhizomes suberect, 20-25 cm long, 5-7 cm in diameter
Cycas produces coralloid root in clusters at the base of the stem and protrudes out over the ground
Volvox is a genus of chlorophyte green algae which forms spherical colonies.
Pseudo elators are found in Hornwort while Marchantia is a liverwort. So, this match is incorrect.
So, the correct answer is 'Marchantia - Pseudo elaters'
