Step-by-step solution
List-I List-II (a) Spirogyra (ii) It is a filamentous green alga, member of Thallophyta. The predominant phase is haploid free-living gametophyte. They show haplontic life cycle. (b) Fern (iii) They are Pteridophyta members. The predominant plant body is diploid sporophyte alternating with reduced gametophyte called prothallus.They show diplo-haplontic life cycle. (c) Funaria (iv) They are Bryophyta members. The gameotyphyte is dominant haploid, and leafy. They have alternating partially parasitic mutlicellular, di
