The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Bryophytes**: Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants that include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. They reproduce via gametes. 2. **Identifying Male Gametes**: The male gametes in bryophytes are called anthrozoids. 3. **Production of Male Gametes**: These anthrozoids are produced in a specialized structure known as the antheridium. 4. **Characteristics of Male Gametes**: - Male gametes (anthrozoids) are motile, which means they can move. - They possess flagella, which are whip-like structures that aid in locomotion. 5. **Type of Flagellation**: - The male gametes of bryophytes are specifically biflagellated, meaning they have two flagella. - This is crucial for their movement towards the female gametes for fertilization. 6. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Multiflagellated**: This would imply more than two flagella, which is incorrect. - **Uniflagellated**: This means having one flagellum, which is also incorrect. - **Non-motile**: This suggests no flagella and inability to move, which is not true for anthrozoids. 7. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that the male gametes of bryophytes are biflagellated. **Final Answer**: Male gametes of bryophytes are biflagellated. ---
