Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

In sexual reproduction, bryophytes’ eggs must swim to be fertilized.

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Bryophytes are dependent on water for survival and reproduction. Water is necessary for sexual reproduction in Bryophytes as sperms swim to the eggs to fertilize it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bryophytes have neither pollen nor flowers and rely on water to carry the male gametes (the sperm) to the female gametes (the eggs). The spore capsules are produced after the sperm have fertilized the eggs. Hence the spores are part of the sexual reproductive cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -For Bryophytes to reproduce sexually, water is necessary because it transports the sperm to the egg.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bryophytes also need a moist environment to reproduce. Their flagellated sperm must swim through water to reach the egg. So mosses and liverworts are restricted to moist habitats.

Detailed explanation-5: -Water is essential for sexual reproduction in Bryophytes, since it is water that carries the sperm to the egg.
