The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Oomycetes (egg fungus) include water moulds, white rusts and downy mildews. In these, female gamete is smaller and motile, whereas male gamete is larger and non-motile. Isogametes are found in algae like Ultrix, Chlamydornonas, Spirogyra, etc., which are similar in structure, function and behavior. An isogametes are found in Chlamydornonas in which one gamete is larger and non-motile and the other one is motile and smaller. Oogamy is the fusion of non-motile egg with motile sperm. The gametes, differ both morphologically as well as physiologically. It occurs in Chlamydomonas, Fucus Chara, Volvox, etc.

Plant Kingdom

The Plant Kingdom comprises all the plants that have some shared characteristics. These are bacteria (prokaryotes), photosynthetic plants, fungi, and several non-photosynthetic plants.

Several features of Kingdom Plantae are as follows:

  • They are stationary. They are static and usually remain in one place only.
  • They have branches that expanded and green leaves due to the presence of chlorophyll.
  • They are an autotrophic mode of nutrition that simply means they prepare their food with the help of water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. It is further known as self-nutrition.
  • They indulge in photosynthesis during the day and therefore more carbon dioxide is needed during the day and at night it is released.
  • They secure their food in the form of starch-like algae.
  • They have an inelastic wall around their cell known as a cell wall comprised of cellulose.
  • There is an absence of the nervous system and excretory system.
  • Reproduction is entirely dependent on air, insects and water. Asexual and vegetative method of reproduction is noticed or detected.
  • The non-photosynthetic plants acquire their food through parasitism, i.e through their host like Indian pipe.
