Flagellated antherozoids

|
|
Independent and dominant sporophyte
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Ferns are pteridophytes where as mosses are bryophytes. Ferns are sporophyte dominant and mosses are gametophyte dominant. Mosses have rhizoids, simple root like structures, ferns have rhizomes or underground stems. Hence, option D is correct.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pteridophytes differ from mosses in having Option d. Independent and Dominant sporophyte. Explanation: Option a. is correct as the pteridophytes have an independent free-living gametophyte in comparison to the dependent gametophyte of the bryophytes or mosses.
Detailed explanation-3: -In pteridophytes, gametophyte and sporophyte are not dependent on one another whereas, in bryophytes, the sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sporophyte of mosses: a dependent stage. The sporophyte phase of mosses remains attached to the female gametophyte. In contrast to higher plants, the sporophyte of mosses has a brief existence (as part of sexual reproduction).
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: This is the sporophyte. The diploid sporophyte is the dominant era in their life cycle.
