Answer:
The right answer is (4)Archegonium.
Explanation:
- Ferns and horsetails are pteridophytes.
- Pteridophytes are terrestrial plants in which vascular tissues like xylem and phloem are present.
- Sporophytes are present in pteridophytes and inside sporophytes are sporangia which produce spores.
- Spore is formed by the process of meiosis and when spores germinate gametophytes are produced.
- The gametophytes in pteridophytes are called prothallus.
- The male and female sex organs are present in the gametophytes.
- The male sex organ is called antheridia and it produces male gametes called antherozoids which are released from the antheridia to the mouth of archegonia.
- The female sex organ is called archegonia where the female gametes that are eggs are present.
- The fusion of male and female gametes results in the formation of a zygote.
- Therefore, in pteridophytes, the fusion of gametes takes place in Archegonium.
