Question

Bryophytes can be distinguished from algae/fungi/thallophytes because they have?

• A. Thallus, haploid, gametophytic body
• B. Chloroplast
• C. No conducting tissue
• D. Sterile jacket of cells around multicellular sex organs

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sterile jacket of cells around multicellular sex organs

Bryophytes are ancient non-vascular plants. Most bryophytes have a single thallus and have very small and few leaves or lack leaves altogether. They also have a dominant gametophyte (haploid) life stage. The sex organs are multicellular and jacketised.

So, the correct answer is 'sterile jacket of cells around multicellular sex organs'
