The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of choosing the incorrect match, we will analyze each of the given matches one by one. 1. **Cycus and Carolite Roots**: - Cycus is a type of Gymnosperm, and it is known to have specialized roots called Carolite roots. These roots are associated with nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, which is beneficial for the plant. Thus, this match is **correct**. 2. **Pinus and Needle-like Leaves**: - Pinus, also a Gymnosperm, is characterized by its needle-like leaves. These adaptations help reduce surface area and minimize water loss, especially in harsh environments. Therefore, this match is **correct**. 3. **Gingko and Heterosporous Plants**: - Gingko is another example of a Gymnosperm and is indeed heterosporous, meaning it produces two different types of spores (microspores and megaspores). Hence, this match is also **correct**. 4. **Cedrus and Ambriosac**: - The term "Ambriosac" refers to the female gametophyte in plants. However, the correct term for the female gametophyte in Gymnosperms is not "Ambriosac"; this term is specifically used for the female gametophyte in Angiosperms, which is called the embryo sac. Since Cedrus is a Gymnosperm, this match is **incorrect**. Thus, the incorrect match is **Cedrus and Ambriosac**. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. Analyze the first match: Cycus and Carolite Roots - Correct. 2. Analyze the second match: Pinus and Needle-like Leaves - Correct. 3. Analyze the third match: Gingko and Heterosporous Plants - Correct. 4. Analyze the fourth match: Cedrus and Ambriosac - Incorrect (Ambriosac is for Angiosperms). ### Conclusion: The incorrect match is **Cedrus and Ambriosac**.
