Q. In Marchantia, gametophyte starts from spore and ends in

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Plant Kingdom

Solution:

Marchantia is a bryophyte and they are non-vascular plants. Its plant body is thalloid. The first cell of the gametophytic generation is a spore that is surrounded by thick, sculptured walls. They germinate into the gametophyte. In gametophyte male and female gametes will be formed and that will be haploid in nature $\left(\right.n\left.\right)$ . So when the male gamete fuse with the female gamete results in the formation of the zygote $\left(\right.2n\left.\right)$ .
