Question

What are the 5 characteristics of Anthocerotopsida?

Answer 1

Characteristics of Anthocerotopsida:

The plant body is characterized as a gametophyte because it is flat, has a simple thallus, is dorsiventral, and lacks internal differentiation.

1. Rhizoids are root-like structures with smooth walls.
2. The chloroplast in the cell contains a pyrenoid.
3. Dorsally implanted sex organs are discovered in the thallus.
4. Asexual reproduction occurs in unfavorable situations.
5. They reproduce asexually by vegetative propagation, which is the fragmentation of the thallus, as well as tubers.
6. Sexual reproduction occurs in water, with sperms traveling over the archegonium (female) to the antheridium.
7. Sporophytes are produced via sexual reproduction. This sporophyte produces spores and develops into gametophytes.
