Question

Select the correct one from the following

• A. Vascular tissues develop first in amphibian bryophytes
• B. Seed formation start from the pteridophyte plants
• C. Thalloid mycelium and hyphae are common in green algae.
• D. Wood of gymnosperms are durable and resistant to termites attack

Answer 1

The correct option is D Wood of gymnosperms are durable and resistant to termites attack

• Vascular tissues did not appear in bryophytes. Bryophytes are non-vascular plants.
• Pteridophytes do not have seeds. Seed formation, first of all, started from angiospermous plants.
• Mycelium is the vegetative part of fungus made up of thread-like structures called hyphae.

So, statement numbers 1, 2 and 3 are incorrect.

• The wood of gymnosperm is durable, and it is also resistant to attack by termites. So, it has a very high economic value.

Thus option D is the correct answer.
