Cycas

Vedclass · Answer

(C) In $Cycas$ (a gymnosperm),the plant body is a sporophyte $(2n)$. The gametophytic phase is highly reduced and short-lived,consisting of only a few cells,and is entirely dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition and protection. It is limited to the production of gametes (pollen grains and ovules). In contrast,algae like $Volvox$ and $Spirogyra$ have a dominant gametophytic phase,and bryophytes like $Riccia$ also have a dominant gametophytic phase.

In which of the following is the gametophytic phase reduced,short-lived,and limited to the production of gametes?
