View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
Pteris has a multicellular gametophytic
prothallus which has both antheridia and archegonia.
Funaria has a bisexual leafy gametophyte which is
the dominant phase of life.
In both Lilium (an
angiosperm) and Pinus (a gymnosperm) male
gametophyte is highly reduced and is 2 celled and 3
celled respectively. Thus male gametophyte with least
number of cells is present in Lilium.
