The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statements from the provided options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "In majority of organisms, male gamete is motile and female gamete is non-motile (stationary)." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. In most organisms, the male gamete (sperm) is motile, while the female gamete (egg) is larger and non-motile. 2. **Statement B**: "In algae and fungi, both male and female gametes are non-motile." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. In many algae and fungi, the male gametes are motile (sperms), while the female gametes can be non-motile (eggs). Thus, this statement does not hold true for all species. 3. **Statement C**: "In seed plants, pollen grains are the carrier of male gametes and ovule has the egg." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. In seed plants, pollen grains carry the male gametes, and the ovule contains the female gamete (egg). 4. **Statement D**: "In dioecious plants, pollination facilitates transfer of pollen grains to the stigma." - **Analysis**: This statement is true. Dioecious plants have male and female reproductive structures on separate plants, and pollination is necessary for the transfer of pollen to the stigma of the female plant. 5. **Statement E**: "In monoecious animals, since male and female gametes are formed in different individuals, the organism must evolve special mechanism for gamete transfer." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Monoecious organisms have both male and female reproductive organs in the same individual, so they do not need a special mechanism for gamete transfer between different individuals. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements are **B** and **E**. ### Final Answer: **B and E are the incorrect statements.** ---
