In bryophytes, the plant body is gametophyte. Sporophyte remains attached to the gametophyte and produces spores. Sporophyte is dependent on gametophyte.

Correct Option: B

In bryophytes, the plant body is gametophyte. Sporophyte remains attached to the gametophyte and produces spores. Sporophyte is dependent on gametophyte.

The gametophytic generation represents the dominant phase in the life cycle of bryophytes. The sporophyte phase is dependent on the gametophyte. That is why, the plant body of Funaria is predominantly gametophyte with sporophyte.

Correct Option: D

The gametophytic generation represents the dominant phase in the life cycle of bryophytes. The sporophyte phase is dependent on the gametophyte. That is why, the plant body of Funaria is predominantly gametophyte with sporophyte.

In Marchantia, capsule elaters are present which help in dispersal of spores.

Correct Option: B

In Marchantia, capsule elaters are present which help in dispersal of spores.

Archegonium is the flask shaped female sex organ in bryophytes while algae have non-jacketed sex organs (gametangia).

Correct Option: C

Archegonium is the flask shaped female sex organ in bryophytes while algae have non-jacketed sex organs (gametangia).

Bryophytes require a thin film of water on the surface of their substratum during sexual reproduction for the following reasons :
(i) dehiscence of antheridia requires absorption of water from outside
(ii) dehiscence of archegonium
(iii) swimming of sperms to reach the archegonia
