Which of the following is an example of a Bryophyte? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an example of a Bryophyte?
A. Funaria
B. Pinus
C. Fern
D. Spirogyra
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Bryophytes are non-vascular land plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Funaria is a common moss and a classic example of a bryophyte. Spirogyra is a green alga, ferns are pteridophytes (vascular cryptogams), and Pinus is a gymnosperm.

Question #1
The type of joint between the teeth and the jawbone is:
A. Fibrous joint (gomphosis)
B. Synovial joint
C. Cartilaginous joint
D. Suture

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A gomphosis is a specialized fibrous joint where a peg-like tooth fits into a socket in the jawbone, connected by the periodontal ligament. Sutures are between skull bones, synovial are movable, cartilaginous slightly movable.

Question #2
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Artificial insemination is used in cattle breeding. 2. Multiple ovulation embryo transfer increases herd quality. 3. Crossbreeding reduces genetic diversity. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Artificial insemination (AI) is a widely used reproductive technology in cattle breeding, allowing the use of superior bull semen to improve the genetic merit of the herd without keeping the bull. Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer (MOET) involves stimulating a superior female to produce multiple eggs, fertilizing them, and transferring the embryos to surrogate mothers, rapidly increasing the number of high-quality offspring. Crossbreeding involves mating animals of different breeds to combine desirable traits and increase heterozygosity, thereby increasing, not reducing, genetic diversity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #3
Crossing over occurs between:
A. Non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes
B. Non-homologous chromosomes
C. Sister chromatids of the same chromosome
D. Two different cells

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. This leads to genetic recombination. Sister chromatid exchange does occur but crossing over specifically refers to the exchange between homologues.
