alleryWhich feature is shared by ALL pteridophytes but ABSENT in bryophytes?
AProduction of haploid spores by meiosis
BThe presence of multicellular sex organs
CTrue vascular tissue including xylem phloem
DNeed for water in sexual reproduction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. True vascular tissue including xylem phloem
Pteridophytes are the first to possess true vascular tissue (xylem and phloem).
Bryophytes lack vascular tissue.
The other three features (multicellular sex organs, water dependence, meiotic spores) are shared by both groups.
