Characters commonly found in bryophytes and pteriophytes areA) Independent sporophyte  B) Vascular tissueC) Archegonium  D) Oogamy E) Antheridium

Bryophytes and pteridophytes are both types of plants, but they belong to different divisions. Here are the characteristics commonly found in both:

A) Independent sporophyte: This is not common in both. In bryophytes, the sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte, while in pteridophytes, the sporophyte is independent.

B) Vascular tissue: This is not common in both. Bryophytes do not have true vascular tissue (xylem and phloem), while pteridophytes do.

C) Archegonium: This is common in both bryophytes and pteridophytes. The archegonium is the female reproductive organ in these plants.

D) Oogamy: This is common in both bryophytes and pteridophytes. Oogamy is a form of sexual reproduction that involves a large, nonmotile egg and a smaller, motile sperm.

E) Antheridium: This is common in both bryophytes and pteridophytes. The antheridium is the male reproductive organ in these plants.

So, the common characteristics of bryophytes and pteridophytes are Archegonium, Oogamy, and Antheridium.
