Question

Seedless plants include _____.

a. bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns, whisk ferns, and horsetails.
b. only lycophytes and pterophytes.
c. only nonvascular plants.
d. bryophytes and gymnosperms.
e. mosses and angiosperms.

Answer 1

The correct answer is a. bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns, whisk ferns, and horsetails.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants that produce seeds for their propagation and multiplication are known as seed plants and the plants who can not produce seed for their multiplication and propagation are called seedless plants.

These plants come under the division Pteridophyta. These seedless plants do not bear flowers and seeds. They mainly reproduce through spores. Spores can be produced sexually or asexually and they show alteration of generation between sporophytic and gametophytic phase.

Seedless plants includes bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns, whisk ferns, horsetails, mosses, liverworts, etc. So the correct answer is a.

Answer 2

Bryophytes, lycophytes, ferns, whisk ferns, and horsetails. (Ans. A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Seedless vascular plants: They are defined as the plants which contains developed specialized tissues known as vascular structure for transportation of nutrients and water. They are known as higher plants because they include from flowering plants to conifer trees (growing seeds) to fern (do not grow seeds).

Seedless vascular plants are divided into four plant divisions:

1) Psilophyta

2) Lycophyta

3) Sphenophyta

4) Pterophyta

Seedless vascular plants includes horsetail and clubmosses, these plants are not producing flowers or seeds. Spores of these plants are very lightweight with the help of this they are disappearing quickly in the wind.
