NEET Biology QUESTION #7252
Question 1
Flagellated male gametes are present in all three members of which one of the following sets?
  • <em>Riccia</em>, <em>Dryopteris</em> and <em>Cycas</em>✔️
  • <em>Anthoceros</em>, <em>Funaria</em> and <em>Spirogyra</em>
  • <em>Zygnema</em>, <em>Saprolegnia</em> and <em>Hydrilla</em>
  • <em>Fucus</em>, <em>Marsilea</em> and <em>Calotropis</em>
Correct Answer Explanation
Riccia (liverwort), Dryopteris (fern), and Cycas (gymnosperm) all produce flagellated (motile) antherozoids. Cycas is notable among gymnosperms for retaining multiflagellate sperms. Calotropis is an angiosperm with non-motile pollen. Spirogyra and Zygnema reproduce by conjugation without flagellated gametes.
