Question

Pick out wrong statement :

• A. Evolutionarily, pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess xylem and phloem.
  
• B. Sequoia, a gymnosperm, is one of the tallest tree.
• C. Phaeophyceae members possess chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids, and xanthophylls.
• D. Moss is a gametophyte which consists of two stages namely, protonema stage and leafy stage.
• E. Double fertilization is unique to gymnosperms and monocotyledons.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Evolutionarily, pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess xylem and phloem.

• Sequoia, a gymnosperm, is one of the tallest trees.
• Phaeophyceae members possess chlorophyll a, c carotenoids, and xanthophylls.
• Moss is a gametophyte that consists of two stages namely, the protonema stage and the leafy stage.
• Double fertilisation is absent in gymnosperms. It occurs both in monocotyledons and dicotyledons, i.e., angiosperm.
• Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess xylem and phloem (vascular tissue).
  

So, the correct option is 'Double fertilization is unique to gymnosperms and monocotyledons.'
