Which statement is true about bryophytes?
Options
- AThey are non-photosynthetic
- BZygote produces gametophyte on germination
- CSpores form gametophyte plant on germination
- DThey have vascular tissues
Correct answer
C. Spores form gametophyte plant on germination
Step-by-step solution
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.
