Question

Match the following

Column I	Column II
Transfusion tissue	Fern
Rhizophore	Cephaleuros
Protonema	Organ of sui-generis
Circinate ptyxis	Pinus
Red rust of tea	Moss

• A. $i=d,ii=c,iii=e,iv=a,v=b$
• B. $i=b,ii=d,iii=a,iv=c,v=e$
• C. $i=e,ii=a,iii=c,iv=b,v=d$
• D. $i=a,ii=e,iii=d,iv=c,v=b$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $i=d,ii=c,iii=e,iv=a,v=b$

• Transfusion tissue is present around the vascular bundles of leaves of gymnosperms for lateral transmission or conduction as seen in Pinus.
• Rhizophore is an organ of sui-generis (of self-origin) as seen in Selaginella.
• Protonema is the earliest stage of life cycle of mosses. It is a single thread like multicellular filaments.
• Circinate ptyxis is the circular coiling of the young leaf. It is also called as circinate vernation and can be commonly seen in ferns.
• Red rust of tea is caused by algae named Cephaleuros.

So, the correct answer is 'i=d, ii=c, iii=e, iv=a, v=b'.
