Which of the following statements is wrong about bryophytes?A. Fertilisation takes place in the presence of waterB. Gemetophytic phase is dominant in life cycleC. Sporophyte is physiologically dependent on gametophyteD. Zygote undergoes meiosis to produce sporophyte |

Answer» Correct Answer - D In bryophytes, zygote is the beginning of the sporophytic generation. Within venter of the archegonium, the zygote undergoes segmentation and develops without a resting period into a multicellular, undifferentiated structure called embryo. The embryo by further segmentation and differentiation finally develops into a full fledged sporophyte, called sporogonium. Cell of sporogonium undergo meiosis to produce spores. |
