Question

Which of the following is wrong about Chara?

• A. Upper oogonium and lower round antheridium.
• B. Globule and nucule present on the same plant.
• C. Upper antherdium and lower oogonium.
• D. Globule is male reproductive structure.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Upper antherdium and lower oogonium.

All species of chara reproduce sexually and show highly advanced oogamy. Male and female gametangia are called antheridia and oogonia respectively. Male fructification is called globule and the female is nucule. They are borne at the nodes of short branches, globule, towards lower side and nucule (female structure) towards upper side.
