Vedclass · Answer

(A) Bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) and Pteridophytes (ferns and horsetails) share several characteristics,such as the alternation of generations,the presence of a multicellular embryo stage after fertilization,and a life cycle consisting of two distinct phases (gametophyte and sporophyte).However,they differ significantly in their internal anatomy. Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial plants to possess well-developed vascular tissues ($xylem$ and $phloem$) for the conduction of water and nutrients. In contrast,Bryophytes lack true vascular tissues and rely on diffusion for transport. Therefore,the statement that both possess well-developed vascular tissues is incorrect.
