Question

• A. Unicellular and jacketed
• B. Unicellular and non-jacketed
• C. Multicellular and jacketed
• D. Multicellular and non jacketed

Answer 1

The correct option is C Multicellular and jacketed

The sex organs in bryophytes are multicellular and jacketed and called antheridia (male sex organs) and archegonia (female sex organs). An antheridia produces a number of biflagellated male gametes called sperms or antherozoids. An archegonium is a flask shaped with tubular neck and swollen venter containing a female gamete called egg or oosphere. They are jacketed and multicellular.

Hence the correct option is C.
