Did you know?
Red blood cells have no nucleus, making more room to carry oxygen-binding haemoglobin.
Which of the following statements is correct?
Fusion of two cells is called Karyogamy.
Fusion of protoplasms between two motile or non-motile gametes is called plasmogamy.
Organisms that depend on living plants are called saprophytes.
Some of the organisms can fix atmospheric nitrogen in specialized cells called sheath cells.
To solve this problem, we need to evaluate each statement to determine which one is correct.Let's analyze each option:• Option 1: Fusion of two cells is called Karyogamy. - Karyogamy refers specifically to the fusion of nuclei, not entire cells. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.• Option 2: Fusion of protoplasms between two motile or non-motile gametes is called plasmogamy. - Plasmogamy is indeed the fusion of the cytoplasm (protoplasm) of two gametes, which can be either motile or non-motile. This statement is correct.• Option 3: Organisms that depend on living plants are called saprophytes. - Saprophytes are organisms that feed on dead or decaying organic matter, not living plants. Organisms that depend on living plants are typically parasites. This statement is incorrect.• Option 4: Some of the organisms can fix atmospheric nitrogen in specialized cells called sheath cells. - Nitrogen fixation typically occurs in specialized cells called heterocysts in some cyanobacteria, not sheath cells. This statement is incorrect.Therefore, the correct statement is Option 2: Fusion of protoplasms between two motile or non-motile gametes is called plasmogamy.
