    Calyptra is derived from

    A)  archegonia        

    B)  capsule

    C)  antheridia                         

    D)  columella

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Calyptra is a small sheath of cells, derived from the archegonia, which covers top of the capsule.              Capsule is a sporophytic region of mosses.             Antheridia is a small structure that produces          sperms in bryophytes or pteridophytes.             In fungi the young sporangium is a white spherical               structure situated at the free end of the             sporangiophore. At maturity it turns black. The      black colour is due to the presence of sooty        spores. The centre of the sporangium is a large          dome-shaped structure called the columella.
