Which of the following statement about alternation of generation in bryophytes is incorrect?
Correct answer: C. Both the gametophyte and sporophytes are haploid generations thus can produce haploids gametes to continue the diploid number on fertilization
- A. It involves alternation of morphologically different generations
- B. Their gametophyte is independent while sporophyte depends upon gametophyte for nutrition.
- C. Both the gametophyte and sporophytes are haploid generations thus can produce haploids gametes to continue the diploid number on fertilization
- D. Spore formation occurs through meiosis
Explanation
In bryophytes, the gametophyte is haploid and the sporophyte is diploid, so they are not both haploid generations. The likely alternative is b, because the sporophyte depends nutritionally on the gametophyte, but that statement is correct and does not create the error.

About Concept of Evolution
Evolution is the heritable change in populations over generations, driven by mutation, recombination, natural selection, genetic drift and reproductive isolation. Questions examine variation, adaptation, survival and reproduction, speciation, fossil and anatomical evidence, and the difference between individual acclimatization and evolutionary change in a population.
