Question

Calyptra develops from

• A. Venter wall of archegonium
• B. Outgrowth of gametophyte
• C. Neck wall of archegonium
• D. Paraphysis of the archegonial branch

Answer 1

The correct option is A Venter wall of archegonium

The embryonic sporophyte is often protected by a calyptra, a covering that develops from the venter wall of the archegonium and a part of the gametophyte generation. The venter is the basal swollen region of the stalk of the mature archegonium. This is responsible for the formation of the calyptra.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
