हिन्दीIn bryophytes, the zygote does not undergo immediate reduction division. What is the immediate developmental outcome of this feature?
Correct answer · Option 1
Formation of a multicellular sporophyte that remains attached to and nourished by the photosynthetic gametophyte.
Explanation
Zygotes in bryophytes do not divide by meiosis right away; instead, they produce a multicellular sporophyte that relies on the parent gametophyte for nutrition.
