Liverworts and mosses are examples of nonvascular plants. Liverworts such as
Marchantia have a smooth upper surface, and a lower surface with
that project into the soil.
The smooth upper surface of the thallus of a liverwort contains groups of cells
called
cups that can produce new plant organisms asexually.
During sexual reproduction in liverworts, flagellated sperm are produced by
and eggs are produced by
After fertilization, small
sporophytes produce windblown spores.
Typically, mosses can reproduce asexually by
almost every part of the moss plant to produce
During the life cycle of a moss, a
its structure.
This process allows
will produce upright leafy thalli along
The thalli of a moss produce antheridia and archegonia, which are involved in
reproduction.
Both apospory and apogamy are observed in Pteris. Give reason.
