A
Mosses reproduce exclusively through seeds.
B
Mosses have a dominant sporophyte stage.
C
Mosses have a dominant gametophyte stage.
D
Mosses undergo alternation of generations without a gametophyte stage.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of alternation of generations, which is a life cycle that alternates between a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage.
Recognize that mosses are non-vascular plants, and their life cycle prominently features a gametophyte stage.
Identify that in mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant stage, meaning it is the most visible and longest-lasting part of the life cycle.
Note that mosses do not reproduce through seeds; instead, they reproduce via spores produced by the sporophyte.
Clarify that the statement 'Mosses undergo alternation of generations without a gametophyte stage' is incorrect because the gametophyte stage is crucial and dominant in mosses.
