Question

Which among the following is incorrect with respect to bryophytes?

• A. They have independent gametophyte
• B. They have dominant gametophyte
• C. The sporophyte is unicellular and short lived
• D. They have dependent sporophyte

Answer 1

The correct option is C The sporophyte is unicellular and short lived

In bryophytes, the long-lived and conspicuous generation is the gametophyte. It is independent and produces a multicellular body called a sporophyte.

Sporophyte is not free-living but attached to the photosynthetic gametophyte and derives nourishment from it.
