Which among the following is not an asexual mode in bryophytes?(a) Budding(b) Fragmentation(c) Gemmae(d) Sporophyte formationI got this question in an interview.I need to ask this question from Plant Kingdom in portion Plant Kingdom of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Right answer is (c) Gemmae

Easy explanation: In fragmentation, leaves/ stems FALL off accidently and grow to form NEW individuals. Budding is a PROCESS in which an outgrowth develops and splits from the parent thallus to produce new individual. Thallus has structures called gemmae cups that CONTAIN gemmae which in turn reproduce to form new individual. Sporophyte develops from a developed embryo and results in the formation of spores. Therefore, sporophyte formation is a SEXUAL process that involves two gametes.
