(B) When a particle has an initial velocity and is subjected to a constant acceleration (like
gravity) at an angle other than 0° or 180°, the horizontal velocity remains constant while the
vertical velocity changes uniformly.
Path: Parabola. Status: CORRECT.
(D) If a particle starts from rest (initial velocity = 0), it has no initial [Link] soon as a
constant acceleration is applied, the particle begins to move exactly in the direction of that
acceleration. Since the velocity and acceleration remain in the same direction from the start,
the particle continues to move in a straight line.
Path: Straight Line. Status: INCORRECT.

stone wrt elevator is asked
Concept : This question is based on relative velocity and acceleration

After the release of stone from the elevator going up with an acceleration a, stone will move
freely under gravity (g), hence the acceleration of the stone will be g downwards with initial
speed u.
(acceleration of stone with respect to elevator)
= –g –a
OR g + a in downward direction
since, at the time of release elevator and stone both have same velocity, so relative velocity
will be zero.

kingdom as it has complex, multicellular, and jacketed sex organs (the globule and nucule).
Answer: (1) Chara
95) Explanation: Chlamydomonas is a unicellular green alga that typically contains a single,
large cup-shaped chloroplast and stores energy as starch.
D = Chlamydomonas, Starch, Cup-shaped
Answer: (1)
96) Explanation: Gemmae are specialized asexual buds produced in small receptacles called
gemma cups on the dorsal surface of the liverwort Marchantia.
Answer: (2) Marchantia thallus
97) Explanation: Marchantia is dioecious (separate male thallus and female thallus). The
female reproductive organs (archegonia) are borne on a stalked structure called the
archegoniophore.
Answer: (1) Marchantia
98) Explanation: The diagram shows a male Marchantia plant. "B" is the stalk carrying the
male organs (Antheridiophore), "C" is the gemma cup for asexual reproduction, and "D" are
the root-like rhizoids.
Answer: (2) A-Male Thallus, B-Antheridiophore, C-Gemma cup, D-Rhizoids
99) Explanation: In liverworts, spores germinate directly into the adult plant body. The
"protonema" stage is a characteristic specific to mosses.
Answer: (1) Liverworts
100) Explanation: The first stage of the gametophyte in mosses, which develops directly from
a spore, is the filamentous or creeping protonema.
Answer: (3) Mosses
101) Explanation: A moss sporophyte consists of a foot, seta, and capsule. Gemma cup are
found in liverworts like Marchantia but are absent in mosses.
Answer: (4) Gemma cup
102) Explanation: In the moss Funaria, the spore germinates into a primary protonema. Buds
then develop on the protonema, which grow into the upright leafy gametophore.
Answer: (4) First protonema, then forms a bud and then a leafy gametophyte
103) Explanation: In mosses, the sporophyte (C) is composed of the Capsule (A) and Seta (B).
It remains attached to and dependent on the leafy Gametophyte (D).
Answer: (2) A-Capsule, B-Seta, C-Sporophyte, D-Gametophyte
104) Explanation: Equisetum (Horsetail) produces only one type of spore (homosporous).
Selaginella and Salvinia are heterosporous (produce two types of spores).
Answer: (2) Equisetum
106) Explanation: Ferns produce large, spirally coiled male gametes with many flagella to
swim through water to reach the egg.
Answer: (1) Ferns
107) Explanation: Sphagnum (Peat moss) accumulates over time in wetlands to form peat,
which is used as fuel and for its water-retention properties. Answer: (4) Sphagnum
108) Explanation: When a haploid spore falls on moist soil, it germinates to form the heart-
shaped gametophyte known as the prothallus.
Answer: (4) From spore
109) Explanation: Cycas is a gymnosperm. Like most gymnosperms, its xylem contains
tracheids but lacks true vessels (vessels are a characteristic of angiosperms).
Answer: (1) Xylem have vessels
110) Explanation: The primary reason Cycas is classified as a gymnosperm is that its ovules
are not enclosed in an ovary; they are "naked" on the surface of megasporophylls.
Answer: (1) Naked ovules
111) Explanation: (C) and (D) are correct. (A) is incorrect because gymnosperms have
xerophytic traits. (B) is incorrect because coralloid roots host cyanobacteria, not mycorrhiza
(mycorrhiza are in Pinus).
Answer: (1) 2 correct, 2 incorrect
112) Explanation: Since there is no ovary in gymnosperms, no fruit is formed. Therefore, the
seeds are exposed or "naked."
Answer: (1)
113) Explanation: This is false. Many gymnosperms like Cycas are dioecious (male and
female cones on different plants).
Answer: (4) All Gymnosperms are Monoecious
114) Explanation: In gymnosperms, the megaspore is never released; it remains inside the
nucellus (megasporangium) to develop into the female gametophyte.
Answer: (2) Inside the megasporangium
115) Explanation: Statement (D) is incorrect. Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial vascular
plants, but they do not produce seeds; they reproduce via spores.
Answer: (4) One
117) Solution : Prothallus prefers to grow in moist, shady places because it needs water for

and seed.
Final Answer : (3)
126) Solution : Pinus — Simple & needle like leaves and stems are branched.
Final Answer : (3)
128) Solution : The predominant stage in the life cycle of Moss is gametophyte, which
consists of two stages they are respectively protonema, leafy stage.
Final Answer : (3)

exception.
Concept: Animal Classification
Solution: The correct answer is option 4
Option 1 : Ctenoplana - external fertilisation
Option 2 : Taenia lacks an alimentary canal, though flame cells are present for
osmoregulation. So the statement is incorrect.
