Independent sporophytes

Vedclass · Answer

(D) fern $(Pteridophyte)$ differs from a moss $(Bryophyte)$ in the presence of an independent sporophyte. In mosses,the sporophyte is simpler than the gametophyte and remains attached to the parent gametophyte throughout its life. This sporophyte is dependent upon the gametophyte partially or wholly for its nutrition. In contrast,ferns possess a well-developed,independent sporophyte that is the dominant phase of their life cycle.
