Which one of the following is wrongly matched?
-
- Nostoc-Water blooms
- Spirogyra-Motile gametes
- Sargassum-Chlorophyll c
- Basidiomycetes-Puffballs
Correct Option: B
Cyanobacteria, e.g., Nostoc, grow in such abundance as to form water blooms. Sargassum belongs to brown algae which possess chl a, c, carotenoids, xanthophyll and a characteristic brown pigment, fucoxanthin. Commonly known forms of basidiomycetes are mushrooms, bracket fungi or puffballs. In Spirogyra gametes are non-flagellated (non-motile) but similar in size. They show amoeboid movements.
