Question

Which group is noted for the independent gametophytic and sporophytic generation?

• A. Pteridophytes
• B. Mosses, hornworts, and liverworts
• C. Charophytes
• D. Angiosperms

Answer 1

The correct option is A Pteridophytes

Pteridophytes show sporophytic generation that produces haploid spores, is photosynthetic and differentiated into root, stem and leaves. The haploid spores germinate to produce heart shaped or cordate gametophytes which are nutritionally independent and give rise to male reproductive structure the antheridium and female reproductive structure the archegonium.

So, the correct answer is 'Pteridophytes'
