Question

Which statement is true about bryophytes?

• A. They are non-photosynthetic
• B. Zygote produces gametophyte on germination
• C. Spores form gametophyte plant on germination
• D. They have vascular tissues

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

In bryophytes sporogenic meiosis takes place i.e., spore mother cells of sporophyte undergo meiosis and form haploid spores. These spores on germination form haploid gametophyte. The main plant body of Bryophytes is gametophyte which is photosynthetic. A zygote is diploid structure which develops to form diploid sporophyte. Bryophytes ar non-vascular plants.
