Question

Match the following.

$a$	Red Algae	$p$	Marchantia
$b$	Liverworts	$q$	Pinus
$c$	Walking fern	$r$	Polysiphoria
$d$	Gymnosperm	$s$	Adianium

• A. $\left(a\right)-\left(q\right),\left(b\right)-\left(p\right),\left(c\right)-\left(s\right),\left(d\right)-\left(r\right)$
• B. $\left(a\right)-\left(p\right),\left(b\right)-\left(q\right),\left(c\right)-\left(r\right),\left(d\right)-\left(s\right)$
• C. $\left(a\right)-\left(s\right),\left(b\right)-\left(r\right),\left(c\right)-\left(q\right),\left(d\right)-\left(p\right)$
• D. $\left(a\right)-\left(r\right),\left(b\right)-\left(p\right),\left(c\right)-\left(s\right),\left(d\right)-\left(q\right)$
• E. $\left(a\right)-\left(r\right),\left(b\right)-\left(s\right),\left(c\right)-\left(p\right),\left(d\right)-\left(q\right)$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$\left(a\right)-\left(r\right),\left(b\right)-\left(p\right),\left(c\right)-\left(s\right),\left(d\right)-\left(q\right)$

• The common members of red algae are Polysiphonia, Porphyra, Gracilaria, and Gelidium.
• The liverworts grow usually in moist, shady habitats such as banks of
  

streams, marshy ground, damp soil, the bark of trees, and deep in the woods.

The plant body of a liverwort is thalloid, e.g., Marchantia

• The pteridophytes are further classified into four classes: Psilopsida
  
• (Psilotum); Lycopsida (Selaginella, Lycopodium), Sphenopsida (Equisetum)
• and Pteropsida (Dryopteris, Pteris, Adiantum(Walking fern).
• In gymnosperm, Roots in some genera have a fungal association in the form of mycorrhiza (Pinus).
  
• So, the correct answer is "(a)−(r),(b)−(p),(c)−(s),(d)−(q)'.
