Answer to Question #40573 in Biology for Sanjeev

Question

PLANT BODY OF FUNARIA IS -
1. COMPLETELY SPOROPHYTE
2. COMPLETELY GAMETOPHYTE
3. PREDOMINANTLY SPOROPHYTE WITH GAMETOPHYTE
4. PREDOMINANTLY GAMETOPHYTE WITH SPOROPHYTE

Answer 1

Funaria is a genus of approximately 200 species of moss. Mosses have a dominant gametophyte. Therefore, the main plant body of Funaria is gametophyte, while the sporophytes consist of sporangium-bearing stalks growing from the tips of the gametophytes. That’s why, we can say, that the plant body of Funaria is predominantly gametophyte with sporophyte (4)
