c. The anthers of a flower

d. Moss sporangia

Accepted Answer

Hi all. Welcome back, this is our next question. It says the multicellular male sex organs of bryan fights are known as blank and they produce blank through mitosis. So we have multicellular male sex organs that produce gametes through mitosis. Since our producing gametes through mitosis, that gives us a hint the multicellular organs must be hap Lloyd because if you're producing gametes through mitosis, you're starting with a deployed structure to end up with hap Lloyd gametes. So we're talking about bryan fights. Those are the mosses, their non vascular plants, uh more primitive plants. And we can recall from our content videos that brian fights have a dominant comida fight generation. You know, plants have the alternation of generations between happily and deployed bryan fights. The early plants, their dominant generation is the generation. And those are those multicellular Hapa Lloyd structures. So going back to our question, we have multicellular hap Lloyd male sex organs and embryo fights. Those are called anthem media. So only one choice C. Has an idea as the first choice. If I'm on a test, I'm just going to choose C. And move on without even looking at my second choice. But to be thorough here these anthem media through mitosis. They're already happy Lloyd. They produce the gametes. The male gametes which are called spermatozoa voids. And we do see that here as our second choice confirming our answer is C. Let's just walk through our other answer choices to understand why they are not correct choice A has micro spare anja as the male sex organs and micro spores being produced. However, these refer to the male sex organs and gametes of the spore a fight generation of those plants that have a dominant sport fight generation. So that is not our answer. Since we're talking about the hap Lloyd to fight generation. Choice B. Is megastar, India and mega spores. Well these refer to the female structures and gametes of the sport fight generation. So not what we're looking for here. And finally. Choice D. Has arc ago Nia and eggs. While our colonia are found in bryan fights, they're multicellular um sex organs but they're the female sex organs and the eggs are the female gametes. So they are found in brian fights, correct plants but wrong sex. So not our answer here and again, multicellular male sex organs and brian fights are known as the sea and the media and they produce spermatozoa voids through halitosis. See you in the next video
