Question

Male gametophyte with least number of cells present in
(a)Funaria
(b)Lilium
(c)Pinus
(d)Pteris

Answer 1

Hint: Gametophyte in plants certain species of algae is a stage in the life cycle that includes both multicellular diploid generation and a multicellular haploid generation. The packed and dispersed pollen grains are known as male gametophytes which form a Pollen tube.

Complete answer:
Male gametophyte with the least number of cells present in Lilium. It is an angiosperm plant which consists of 3 celled male gametophytes and reduced gametophyte in comparison to the bryophytes. They are a group of flowering plants that consist of large prominent flowers and are important in the culture and literature of the world. They are tall perennial which are naked or tunicless underground bulbs which are developed into rhizomes and some species develop into stolons. Some species consist of bulbs that are buried deep under the ground whereas few species form bulbs near the solid surface. The roots are basil roots that develop at the base of the bulb and the flower consists of a wide range of colors and includes spots and brush strokes. They are grown in gardens in subtropical, temperate, and tropical regions.

Additional information:
Funaria: It is a species of moss that consists of twisted seta and is hygroscopic with untwisting when moist. They consist of rhizoids and capsules which are abundant for surviving as a spore when conditions are not suitable. They grow in dense patches in mostly shady and cool places and during the rainy seasons.
Pinus: They are evergreen and coniferous trees which range from 3 to 80 meters tall which constitutes the smallest Siberian dwarf pine and the tallest Potosi pinyon. They are mostly monoecious and are sub-dioecious in certain species. They are used commercially for their Timber and wood pulp throughout the world and inhibit the sprouting of competing hardwoods.
Pteris: They constitute 300 species of phones and are native to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. They are eukaryotic pteridophytes which have linear frond segments and consist of sub palmate division. The margin of the frond is reflected over sori and the outer and inner cortex are differentiated.

So, the correct answer is 'Lilium'.

Note: Pinus constitutes 125 species which are primarily grown in the Northern hemisphere. The Great Basin bristlecone pine is the longest pine known. It was found that dinosaurs ate ferns, conifers, mosses, and cycads as their foods.
