The fusion of two morphologically similar gametes is called:

Answer: Isogamy.

  • A Isogamy
  • B Anisogamy
  • C Oogamy
  • D Zoogamy

Correct answer: A. Isogamy

Explanation: When the fusing gametes look alike it is isogamy; when they differ in size it is anisogamy, and a large egg with small sperm is oogamy.

Plants evolved from water-dependent algae through increasingly land-adapted groups, gaining vascular tissue (Pteridophyta), then seeds (Gymnosperms), and finally fruit-enclosed seeds (Angiosperms) - each step reducing dependence on water for reproduction.

Concept context

Classification of plants from algae to angiosperms. Understanding plant diversity is essential for NEET.
