The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Motile, flagellated antherozoids are found in:", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the characteristics of antherozoids. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antherozoids**: - Antherozoids are male gametes in plants, specifically in non-flowering plants. They are motile and flagellated, which means they have tails that allow them to swim. 2. **Identifying the Types of Plants**: - Antherozoids are typically found in bryophytes (like mosses and liverworts) and some pteridophytes (like ferns). 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1: Anthoceros**: - Anthoceros is a type of bryophyte (hornwort). Since bryophytes produce motile antherozoids, this option is correct. - **Option 2: Pinus**: - Pinus is a gymnosperm. Gymnosperms do not produce motile antherozoids; instead, they produce non-motile male gametes (pollen grains). Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 3: Selaginella**: - Selaginella is a genus of pteridophytes (spike moss). It also produces motile flagellated antherozoids, making this option correct. - **Option 4: Both 1 and 3**: - Since both Anthoceros and Selaginella have motile flagellated antherozoids, this option is correct. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is **both 1 and 3** (Anthoceros and Selaginella). ### Final Answer: Motile, flagellated antherozoids are found in **both Anthoceros and Selaginella**. ---
