Solution
Answer:
6). E)spores, gametes and spores
7). B)male, female
Microspore develops into male gametophyte and megaspore develops into female gametophyte
and both are haploid.
8). C)gemmae
The way liverworts accomplish this asexual reproduction is with the cupules with their gemmae
9). B. Sphenophyta
10). D)have multicellular embryos protected by the parent.
embryos are not retained within parental tissues in green algae.
