In liverworts, asexual reproduction takes place by:
Correct answer: A. Fragmentation of thalli and gemmae cups
- A. Fragmentation of thalli and gemmae cups
- B. Fragmentation of thalli and oospores
- C. Gemmae cups and zoospores
- D. Oospores and zoospores
Explanation
The correct answer is fragmentation of thalli and gemmae cups. Liverworts can reproduce asexually by breaking off parts of their thalli, which can then grow into new plants. Additionally, gemmae cups are specialized structures that produce gemmae, small reproductive units that can develop into new individuals.
