Which one of the following is wrong about Chara?
- Upper oogonium and lower round antheridium
- Globule and nucule present on the same plant
- Upper antheridium and lower oogonium
- Globule is male reproductive structure
Answer
(3) Upper antheridium and lower oogonium
Solution
In Chara, the female sex organ (oogonium or nucule) lies above and the male sex organ (antheridium or globule) lies below at the same node.
∵ Chara is monoecious, so globule and nucule are present on the same plant.
∴ The statement 'upper antheridium and lower oogonium' is wrong.
