Question

To which plant division does the below life cycle belong?

• A. Bryophyte
• B. Algae
• C. Pteridophyte
• D. Gymnosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is C Pteridophyte

This life cycle belongs to pteridophytes. In pteridophytes, The spores that are released develop into young gametophytes. They form male and female archegonium and antheridium They then male and female gametes that fuse by the process of fertilisation and form a diploid zygote. The zygote then undergoes the process of mitosis forming sporophytes that mature to form sporangium. Sporangium then undergoes meiotic cell division and releases mature spores.

So, option C "Pteridophytes" is the correct answer.
