In several simple plants like algae, bryophytes, and pteridophytes, water is the medium through which gamete transfer takes place. To increase the chances of fertilization, such plants:

1. Produce a large number of female gametes that are non-motile
2. Produce a large number of male gametes that is several thousand times the number of female gametes produced
3. Produce a large number of female gametes that is several thousand times the number of male gametes produced
4. Do not have the capability of reproducing asexually

The term ‘clone’ cannot be applied to offspring formed by sexual reproduction because:

1. Offspring do not possess exact copies of parental DNA
2. DNA of only one parent is copied and passed on to the offspring
3. Offspring are formed at different times
4. DNA of the parent and offspring are completely different.
