Answer 1

Bryophytes produce haploid reproductive cells through alternation of generations, involving the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bryophytes, such as mosses and liverworts, produce haploid reproductive cells through the process of alternation of generations. In this life cycle, the haploid gametophyte stage produces reproductive organs called antheridia and archegonia, which produce male and female gametes respectively. Fertilization between the gametes forms a diploid zygote, which then develops into a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores, which develop into the next generation of gametophytes.

Answer 2

In bryophytes, haploid reproductive cells are produced by the gametophyte. Gamete-producing organs are found on gametophyte plant (the dominant form) and they are called gametangia. The haploid organ that produces male gametes is antheridia, and female producing organ is called archegonia (it produces ovum).
