20
Q

4 primitive features of Bryophytes

A

Non vascular
Flagellate sperm require water to reach egg
Seedless- spore dispersal only
Gametophyte is dominant life stage

21
Q

What distinguishes 3 phyla of Bryophytes in terms of growth?

A

The gametophyte stage is dominant

Produces gametes in antheridia and archegonium

22
Q

Seta

A

Stalk that supports and provides nutrients for capsule

23
Q

What affects can Sphagnum have on soil conditions?

A

Sphagnum can retard nutrient cycling and decomposition
