The correct Answer is:
To determine where multiciliated antherozoids occur, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Term "Multiciliated Antherozoids":** - Antherozoids are male gametes (sperms) in plants. - The term "multiciliated" indicates that these antherozoids have multiple flagella (tails) for movement. 2. **Identify the Options Given:** - Option 1: Rissia and Haemorrhoea - Option 2: Teres and Cycus - Option 3: Rissia and Teres - Option 4: Noctainchia and Rissia 3. **Analyze the Characteristics of the Plants:** - Teres (Ferns) and Cycus (Cycads) are known to have multiciliated antherozoids. - These plants are part of the group that produces biflagellated sperm, which is a characteristic of certain groups of plants, particularly in the pteridophytes (like ferns) and gymnosperms (like cycads). 4. **Eliminate Incorrect Options:** - Rissia and Haemorrhoea, Rissia and Teres, and Noctainchia and Rissia do not typically produce multiciliated antherozoids. - Therefore, we can conclude that these options are incorrect. 5. **Conclude the Correct Answer:** - The correct answer is Option 2: Teres and Cycus, as these plants are known for having multiciliated antherozoids. ### Final Answer: Multiciliated antherozoids occur in Teres and Cycus. ---
