In mosses (nonvascular plants), which structure produces spores?
A
Antheridium of the gametophyte
B
Sporangium (capsule) of the sporophyte
C
Archegonium of the gametophyte
D
Rhizoids of the gametophyte
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the life cycle of mosses, which includes two main stages: the gametophyte (haploid) and the sporophyte (diploid).
Identify the role of the gametophyte stage, which produces gametes (sperm and eggs) in specialized structures called antheridia (male) and archegonia (female).
Recognize that spores are produced during the sporophyte stage, which grows from the fertilized egg and is dependent on the gametophyte.
Know that the sporophyte produces spores inside a structure called the sporangium, often referred to as the capsule in mosses.
Conclude that the sporangium (capsule) of the sporophyte is the structure responsible for producing spores in mosses.
