Bryophyta Monilophyta Coniferophyta Q Anthophyta Solution 13.Bryophta (Bryophytes do not have flowers or seeds and reproduce through spores.) 14.Coniferophyta( A pine tree produces two types of spores- the microspores seen on male cones and megaspores seen on female cones. Hence, they are heterosporic.). 15.Bryphyta(The sporophyte dries and releases spores that grow into a new generation of gametophytes. The sporophyte is the organ for asexual reproduction and consists of a foot, seta and capsule. The capsule is a beak like structure found on top of a thin stalk and produces the spores. Mosses show alternation of generation between gametophytic and sporophytic generations though the plant has a gametophyte dominant cycle.).
