Column - II
(a) Pistils fused together
(i) Gametogenesis
(b) Formation of gametes
(ii) Pistillate
(c) Hyphae of higher ascomycetes
(iii) Syncarpous
(d) Unisexual female flower
(iv) Dikaryotic

a- i, b- ii, c- iv, d- iii

a- iii, b- i, c- iv, d- ii

a- iv, b- iii, c- i, d- ii

a- ii, b- i, c- iv, d- iii

Solution:

Gametogenesis is the process of formation of male and female gametes (b-i). Pistils are female reproductive organs and have one or more carpels. The presence of fused carpels refers to the syncarpous stage (a-iii). Formation of cytoplasmic bridge facilitates transfer to - strain nucleus into ascogonium and formation of dikaryotic hypha in higher ascomycetes (c-iv). The presence of a unisexual female flower is called pistillate; these flowers lack stamen (d-ii). Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
