Identify the wrong statement
A. Haploid endosperm is typical feature of gymnosperm
B. Brown algae have chlorophyll a and c and fucoxanthin
C. Archegonia are found in bryophytes pteridophytes and gymnosperms
D. Mucor has biflagellate zoospores.

Explanation

Solution

The endosperm makes the source of food for the embryo. Archegonia is the female sex organ in mosses, liverworts, ferns etc. A large group of algae is typically brown and is called brown algae.

Complete step by step answer: Brown algae is also known as phaeophyceae. It is a group of marine multicellular algae. It's a critical role in the marine environment. Its brown colour is due to the presence of pigment fucoxanthin. It also consists of pigment chlorophyll a and c.
Archegonia is the female reproductive part of flower shaped structure. It contains a neck and swollen base. Where the neck consists of one or more layers of cells? And the swollen part contains eggs. It is found in bryophytes. ( Example ferns and mosses), gymnosperms ( example cycads and conifers) and pteridophyta (eg azolla).
Gymnosperms don't have double fertilization. The endosperm is haploid. and is formed by the repeated division of haploid mega sports and later develops into female gametophyte with haploid chromosomes.
Mucor belongs to the kingdom fungi and division zygomycota. The government quota has sexual spores called zygospores and most of them lack flagella.
Archegonia are found in bryophytes pteridophytes and gymnosperms
So from the above discussion it can be concluded that the correct answer is option C.

Note: Mucor is a microbial genus of molds commonly found in soil, digestive systems, plant surfaces etc. During sexual reproduction, compatible strains form short, specialized hyphae called gametangia. At the point where two gametangia fuse, a thick-walled, spherical zygosporangium develops. The zygosporangium typically contains a single zygospore.
