The correct Answer is:
To determine which organisms have non-motile gametes, we need to analyze the characteristics of the specified groups: blue-green algae, red algae, and slime molds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Groups**: The question refers to blue-green algae, red algae, and slime molds. We need to evaluate the gametes of each group. 2. **Blue-Green Algae**: Blue-green algae (also known as cyanobacteria) reproduce primarily through simple division or fragmentation. They do not have a motile phase in their life cycle, which means their gametes are non-motile. 3. **Red Algae**: Red algae are characterized by their thick gelatinous cell walls and the absence of flagella. They do not produce motile spores or gametes, indicating that their gametes are also non-motile. 4. **Slime Molds**: Slime molds have a complex life cycle that includes both a motile phase (where they can move) and an immotile phase. Therefore, they do not consistently have non-motile gametes. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, both blue-green algae and red algae have non-motile gametes. Slime molds do not fit this criterion as they have a motile phase. 6. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is that gametes are non-motile in blue-green algae and red algae.

In flowering plants, both male and female gametes are non-motile. The method to bring them together for fertillisation is

Read the following statements and find out the incorrect statements. a. In majority of organisms, male gamete is motile and female gamete is non-motile (stationary). b. In algae and fungi, both male and female gametes are non-motile. c. In seed plants, pollen grains are the carrier of male gametes and ovule has the egg. d. In dioecious plants, pollination facilitates trasnfer of pollen grains to the stigma. e. In monoecious animals, since male and female gametes are formed in different individuals, the organism must evolve special mechanism for gamete transfer.
