The diploid sporophyte is represented by a donoate independent, photosynthetic, vasuclar plant body. Alternates with multicellular, saprophytic/autotrophic independent but short-lived haploid gametophyte. This type of pattern is exhibited by

A

Bryophytes (Sphagnum and Polytrichum)

B

Pteridophytes (Selaginella and Lycopodium)

C

Most of the algal genera (Fucus, Chara and Polysiphonia)

D

Seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The diploid sporophyte is represented by a dominant, independent, photosynthetic, vascular plant body, It alternates with multicellular, saprophytic/autotrophic, independent but short-lived haploid gametophyte. This type of pattern is exhibited by pteridophytes (Selaginella, Lycopodium).
