Question

Plants that produce embryo and spores but lack seed and vascular tissue belong to

• A. Angiosperms
• B. Bryophyte
• C. Gymnosperms
• D. Pteridophytes

Answer 1

The correct option is B Bryophyte

Bryophyte

• Bryophytes have a gametophytic plant body (haploid) which forms the haploid gametes through mitosis.
• The male and female gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote that develops into an embryo which eventually forms a multicellular diploid sporophyte.
• The bryophytes do not bear seeds.
• Some sporophyte cells undergo reduction division to form haploid spores.
• These spores on germination form new gametophytic organisms.
• Bryophytes do not have a vascular system developed in them and they lack true roots, stems and leaves.

Final answer: (a) Bryophytes
