Q. Which of the following statements is wrong about bryophytes?

A) Fertilization takes place in presence of water
B) Gametophytic place is dominant in life cycle
C) Sporophyte is physiologically dependent on gametophyte
D) Zygote undergoes meiosis to produce sporophyte
Explanation

In bryophytes, zygote is the beginning of the sporophytic generation. Within venter of the archegonium, the zygote undergoes segmentation and develops without a resting period into a multicellular, undifferentiated structure called embryo. The embryo by further segmentation and differentiation finally develops into a full fledged sporophyte, called sporogonium.
