In a moss, the sporophyte
1. Manufactures food for itself, as well as for the gametophyte
2. Arises from a spore produced from gametophyte
3. Is partially parasitic on the gametophyte
4. Produces gametes that give rise to the gametophyte
An important feature of bryophytes is that the embryonic development of the zygote takes place in the:
1. Sporangium | 2. Archegonium |
3. Protonema | 4. Antheridium |
