I: | evolutionarily are the first terrestrial plants to possess vascular tissues – xylem and phloem. |
II: | have gametophytes as the dominant generation in their life cycle. |
I: | the ovules are not enclosed by any ovary wall and remain exposed, both before and after fertilisation. |
II: | the male and the female gametophytes do not have an independent free-living existence. |
