Zygote does not undergo immediate reduction division in all, except :

  1. Gymnosperms

  2. Pteridophytes

  3. Bryophytes

  4. Angiosperms

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Answer is option C i.e. "Bryophytes"
The zygote does not undergo meiosis immediately in bryophytes to form the sporophyte (a multi-cellular body). Some cells of the sporophyte undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. Spores further germinate to produce the gametophyte.

Choose the correct statement:

  1. bryophytes can live in soil but are dependent on water for sexual reproduction

  2. sex organ in bryophytes are unicellular

  3. Main plant body in bryophytes are gametophytes , differentiated into true root , stem and leaves

  4. Common examples of liverworts is Polytrichum
