Plant Kingdom

The correct sequence of events in the life cycle of bryophytes is:

A. Fusion of antherozoid with egg

B. Attachment of gametophyte to the substratum

C. Reduction division to produce haploid spores

D. Formation of sporophyte

E. Release of antherozoids into water

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A.D, E, A, C, B
  2. B.B, E, A, C, D
  3. C.B, E, A, D, C✓
  4. D.D, E, A, B, C

Solution

The gametophyte attaches to the substratum (B), releases antherozoids into water (E), an antherozoid fuses with the egg (A), the sporophyte develops on the gametophyte (D), and meiosis in the capsule produces haploid spores (C). So B, E, A, D, C.
