Question

Pteridophytes differ from mosses in

A. Independent gametophyte
B. Dependent gametophyte
C. Flagellate antherozoids
D. Independent and dominant sporophyte​

Answer 1

D. Independent and dominant sporophyte.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pteridophytes and mosses are both non-vascular plants, but they differ in the way their gametophyte and sporophyte generations are arranged.

• In mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant generation, and the sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte for its survival.
• In pteridophytes, the sporophyte is the dominant generation, and the gametophyte is independent

So the answer is (D). Independent and dominant sporophyte.
