Question

which of the following develops from endothecium in funeria

Answer 1

Its main role is to conduct the water and nutrients to the developing capsule. Capsule: The most terminal part of the sporophyte is a capsule which is formed at the apical region of the seta. It has a pear-shaped structure which is covered by a cap like structure called calyptra, which falls off later.

Answer 2

Its main role is to conduct the water and nutrients to the developing capsule.

Explanation:

• The most terminal part of the sporophyte is a capsule which is formed at the apical region of the seta.
• It has a pear shaped structure which is covered by a cap like structure called calyptra, which falls off later.
• Water is essential for fertilization. The opercular cells of the antheridium rupture and releases mass of antherozoids.
• When archegonium reaches at maturity the neck canal cells and venter canal cell disintegrate to form a mucilaginous mass.
• The sporophyte phase of Funaria includes the embedded structure a long curve responsible for conduction and a terminal bag like structure producing spores.
• Funaria reproduces by vegetative and sexual methods.
• Gemmae are multicellular green bodies formed from the terminal cells of the protonema.
• They remain dormant throughout the unfavourable condition.
