Concerning 'LAVA' which statement is not correct?
Correct answer: D. Reproduction is by sexual as well as asexual methods
- A. The plant body is called thallus
- B. Sporophyte is thallus with 26 chromosomes
- C. Gametophyte is thallus with 26 chromosomes
- D. Reproduction is by sexual as well as asexual methods
- E. It is found growing along the sea-coasts between high and low tides.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: 'Reproduction is by sexual as well as asexual methods.' This statement is typically true for many algae species, which exhibit both reproductive modes. The other options are incorrect because they either present misleading chromosome counts for life cycle stages (Options B and C) or describe general characteristics of algae that do not necessarily pinpoint an incorrect statement about 'LAVA' (Options A and E).
