Answers
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Pls mark it as the brilliantest answer
Answer:
Liverwort sporophytes have always a spore-containing capsule. This capsule is spherical to cylindrical and is blackish when mature. The mature capsules spilt open to release the spores. Within the capsules of most species there are elaters as well as spores. Elaters are microscopic, spiral-like structures which usually twist or untwist in response to changes in humidity and often help in spore dispersal. Moss spore capsules don't have elaters. Also, the spore capsules in almost all moss species open by a definite mouth, rather than by splitting. Hence sporophyte is more developed in mosses rather than liverwort. The plant body of pinus is sporophyte and the plants are monoecious. The plant body is differentiated into roots, stem and leaves. Pinus plant is sporophyte (2x), heterosporous (producing two type of spores - microspore and megaspore), monoecious (male and female cones are borne on same plant) and autoecious (male and female cones are borne on different branches). So, options A and D are not correct.
