Question

Compared with the gametophytes of the bryophytes the
gametophytes of vascular plant are
(1) smaller but have larger sex organs
(2) larger but have smaller sex organs
(3) larger and have larger sex organs
(4) smaller and have smaller sex organs​

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The gamete-producing sex organs of vascular plants are in the gametophyte generation. Their archegonia and antheridia are much reduced in size compared to bryophytes. The entire male gametophyte generation in vascular plants is reduced to a 4-celled pollen grain, and the female gametophyte becomes part of the seed. In fact, there is only a single generative cell that functions as an antheridium in the tiny gametophytes of angiosperms.
