Question
I: Life cycle of Fucus is haplonticStatement II: In Funaria, there is alternation of haploid gametophytic generation with diploidsporophytic generationa) Both Statement I and Statement II are correctb) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrectc) Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrectd) Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct
Solution
The correct answer is d) Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
Explanation:
Statement I: The life cycle of Fucus is not haplontic. Fucus, a genus of brown algae, has a diplontic life cycle. In a diplontic life cycle, the organism is diploid for the majority of its life cycle, and the haploid phase is reduced to the gametes.
Statement II: In Funaria, there is indeed an alternation of haploid gametophytic generation with diploid sporophytic generation. Funaria is a moss, and mosses typically exhibit a life cycle known as alternation of generations, which includes both a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage.
