Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Apospory is the formation of gametophyte directly from sporophyte without forming spores and meiosis. The gametophytes formed through apospory are usually diploid. Apospory leads to polyploidy and hence, new species in bryophytes and pteridophytes.
