Which of the following distinguishes the life cycle of pteridophytes from that of bryophytes?
| 1. | The main plant body in pteridophytes is haploid, while in bryophytes it is diploid. |
| 2. | In pteridophytes, the gametophyte is independent, while in bryophytes the sporophyte is independent. |
| 3. | Pteridophytes have a dominant sporophyte generation, while bryophytes have a dominant gametophyte generation. |
| 4. | Bryophytes possess well-differentiated vascular tissues, unlike pteridophytes. |

The spreading of living pteridophyte is limited and is restricted to narrow geographical region because of
| 1. | Growth requirements of gametophyte (cool, damp and shady places). |
| 2. | Requirement of water for fertilisation. |
| 3. | Absence of stomata in leaf and absence of vascular tissue. |
| 4. | Both (a) and (b). |
