Question

Which statement is true about mosses and gymnosperms? Group of answer choices Mosses are better adapted for desert habitats, whereas gymnosperms are better adapted for wet habitats. Mosses produce flowers in order to reproduce, whereas gymnosperms produce cones. Mosses rely on liquid water for fertilization, whereas gymnosperms do not need liquid water for fertilization. Mosses are primarily diploid in their adult form, whereas gymnosperms are primarily haploid.

Answer 1

The statement that is true about mosses and gymnosperms is that mosses rely on liquid water for fertilization, whereas gymnosperms do not need liquid water for fertilization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mosses are photosynthetic plant species that have no stem, roots or leaves. The natural habitat of mosses is in humid places, as they have cells specialized in the absorption of water. Fertilization in mosses requires the presence of water, where male and female gametes join, giving rise to the release of spores when they reach maturity.

Gymnosperms are spermatophytes and vascular plants, producing seeds but lacking flowers. In their reproductive process, pollination and seed formation are involved, but their fertilization does not require liquid water to occur.
