Question

In ________, a dominant and independent haploid gametophyte alternates with a short-lived, dependent sporophyte.

• A. algae
• B. bryophytes
• C. pteridophytes
• D. gymnosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is B bryophytes

In bryophytes, a dominant, independent, photosynthetic, thalloid or erect phase is represented by a haploid gametophyte and it alternates with the short-lived multicellular sporophyte which is totally or partially dependent on the gametophyte for its anchorage and nutrition.

So the correct option is B.
