Question
Choose correct option w.r.t. FunariaA Sporophyte is dominant, independentB Gametophyte is dependent, indistinct C Dorsi-ventral flat, thalloid gametophyteD Belongs to bryopsida
Solution
The correct option with respect to Funaria is D. Funaria belongs to Bryopsida.
Here's why:
Funaria is a genus of mosses belonging to the class Bryopsida. The Bryopsida constitute the largest class of mosses, containing 95% of all moss species.
Option A is incorrect because in Funaria, the gametophyte is the dominant phase, not the sporophyte.
Option B is incorrect because the gametophyte is independent and distinct, not dependent and indistinct.
Option C is incorrect because Funaria does not have a dorsi-ventral flat, thalloid gametophyte. Instead, it has a leafy gametophyte.
