Question

Match the columns and find the correct option.

	I		II
(a)	Pistils fuse together	(i)	Gametogenesis
(b)	Formation of gametes	(ii)	Pistillate
(c)	Hyphae of higher ascomycetes	(iii)	Syncarpous
(d)	Unisexual female flower	(iv)	Dikaryotic

• A. a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
• B. a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii
• C. a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
• D. a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii

•When the carpels or pistils get fused, they are known as syncarpous.

•Formation of gametes from the diploid cells through meiosis is called gametogenesis.

•Hyphae of higher ascomycetes are dikaryotic because when the hyphae of two opposite strains fuse, karyogamy doesn't occur immediately and a binucleate condition is produced having nuclei from two different strains.

•A unisexual flower that has only female reproductive part is called pistillate.

Hence, the correct match is:

a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii

So, the correct answer is A.
