Q. Match items in column-I with those in column-II. [table] Column-I | Column-II ; (a) Peritrichous flagellation | 1. Ginkgo ; (b) Living fossil | 2. Macrocystes ; (c) Rhizophore | 3. Escherichia coli ; (d) Smallest flowering plant | 4. Selaginella ; (e) Largest perennial alga | 5. Wolffia [/table] Select the correct answer from the following : Codes :
A) (a)-2, (b)-1, (c)-3, (d)-4, (e)-5
B) (a)-5, (b)-3, (c)-2, (d)-5, (e)-1
C) (a)-1, (b)-2, (c)-5, (d)-3, (e)-2
D) (a)-3, (b)-1, (c)-4, (d)-5, (e)-2
Explanation
[Solution from source] E. coli has flagella all over its surface (peritrichous). Ginkgo is a living fossil. Selaginella has leafless rhizophores that bear roots. Wolffia is the smallest flowering plant, and the kelp Macrocystis is the largest perennial alga. That gives (a)-3, (b)-1, (c)-4, (d)-5, (e)-2. Answer (4).
