The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about the male gametes of bryophytes, let's break down the solution step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Male Gametes**: In bryophytes, the male gametes are referred to as antherozoids. 2. **Location of Production**: These antherozoids are produced in the male reproductive structure called the antheridium. 3. **Fertilization Process**: Bryophytes require water for fertilization, as the male gametes need to swim to reach the female gametes. 4. **Motility of Antherozoids**: Since the antherozoids are motile, they possess flagella that aid in their movement. 5. **Number of Flagella**: The key characteristic of the male gametes in bryophytes is that they have two flagella. This feature classifies them as biflagellate. 6. **Evaluate the Options**: - Uniflagellate: Incorrect, as it refers to having one flagellum. - Multiflagellate: Incorrect, as it refers to having more than two flagella. - Biflagellate: Correct, as the male gametes have two flagella. - Triflagellate: Incorrect, as it refers to having three flagella. 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the male gametes of bryophytes are biflagellate. ### Final Answer: **C) Biflagellate** ---
