Question

The correct sequence of events in the life cycle of bryophytes is:

1. Fusion of antherozoid with egg.
2. Attachment of gametophyte to substratum.
3. Reduction division to produce haploid spores.
4. Formation of sporophyte.
5. Release of antherozoids into water.

Choose the correct answer from the option given below:

पर्याय

• D, E, A, C, B

• B, E, A, C, D

• B, E, A, D, C

• D, E, A, В, C

Answer 1

B, E, A, D, C

Explanation:

The correct sequence is:

B. Attachment of gametophyte to substratum

E. Release of antherozoids into water

A. Fusion of antherozoid with egg (fertilisation)

D. Formation of sporophyte

C. Reduction division (meiosis) to produce haploid spores

This represents the alternation of generations in bryophytes, in which the gametophyte is dominant and the sporophyte is dependent.
