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
