Biology Question on Kingdom Plant
Gametophyte and sporophyte are independent of each other in which of the following groups?
A
Pteridophytes
B
Angiosperms
C
Gymnosperms
D
Bryophytes
Answer
Pteridophytes
Explanation
Solution
Bryophytes are nonvascular terrestrial plants of moist habitats in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte lives as a parasite on an independent multicellular haploid gametophyte that develops multicellular jacketed sex organs. Whereas, in pteridophytes, the main plant body is a sporophyte which is differentiated into true root, stem and leaves and gametophyte is small or inconspicuous, it is usually independent.
