Which of the following is a similarity between bryophytes and seedless vascular plants?
A
Both have a dominant gametophyte generation.
B
Both have a well-developed vascular system.
C
Both require water for fertilization.
D
Both produce seeds for reproduction.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the life cycle of bryophytes: Bryophytes, such as mosses, have a dominant gametophyte generation, meaning the gametophyte is the most visible and long-lived stage of their life cycle.
Understand the life cycle of seedless vascular plants: Seedless vascular plants, like ferns, have a dominant sporophyte generation, where the sporophyte is the most visible and long-lived stage.
Identify the reproductive requirements: Both bryophytes and seedless vascular plants require water for fertilization because their sperm are flagellated and need to swim to reach the egg.
Compare the vascular systems: Bryophytes lack a well-developed vascular system, while seedless vascular plants have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) that help in the transport of water and nutrients.
Recognize the absence of seeds: Both bryophytes and seedless vascular plants do not produce seeds; instead, they reproduce via spores.
