Which of the following sets of plants is correctly paired with the nature of its dominant plant body and the status of its vascular tissues?
Options
- A and : Dominant sporophyte, Vascular tissues absent
- B and : Dominant sporophyte, Vascular tissues present
- C and : Dominant gametophyte, Vascular tissues present
- D and : Dominant sporophyte, Vascular tissues absent
Correct answer
B. and : Dominant sporophyte, Vascular tissues present
Step-by-step solution
and belong to bryophytes. In bryophytes, the dominant phase in the life cycle is the gametophyte, and vascular tissues are absent.
and belong to pteridophytes. In pteridophytes, the main plant body is a sporophyte which is differentiated into true root, stem, and leaves. These organs possess well-differentiated vascular tissues (xylem and phloem).
and belong to gymnosperms. In gymnosperms, the dominant phase is the sporophyte, and vascular tissues are present.
and belong to algae. In algae, the dominant phase is the gametophyte, and vascular tissues are absent.
