Question

The embryonic development in bryophytes takes place in the ____________.

• A. Protonema
• B. Sporangium
• C. Antheridium
• D. Archegonium

Answer 1

The correct option is D Archegonium

• In bryophytes fertilization and post fertilization changes take place in the archegonium, anchored by gametophyte.
• The diploid zygote formed after fertilization of the antherozoids and the egg cell undergoes development to form the diploid sporophyte, meiosis takes place in the sporophyte to produce haploid spores that on germination produce the protonema of the gametophyte.

So, the correct answer is 'archegonium.'
