Question

Which one is wrongly matched ?

• A. Unicellular organism – Chlorella
• B. Biflagellate zoospores – Brown algae
• C. Gemma cups – Marchantia
• D. Uniflagellate gametes – Polysiphonia

Answer 1

The correct option is D Uniflagellate gametes – Polysiphonia

Polysiphonia is red algae that usually reproduce vegetatively by fragmentation. They reproduce asexually by non-motile spores and sexually by non-motile gametes.

Biflagellate zoospores are the pear-shaped structure with two unequal laterally attached flagella. It helps in asexual reproduction in brown algae.

Gemma cups are the green, multicellular, asexual bud present in the thallus helps in asexual reproduction in Marchantia.

Chlorella is the unicellular algae and belongs to Chlorophyceae.

So, out of the given options, only option C is not a correct match.
