Which of the following does NOT pertain to mosses?
Mosses are non-vascular plants, so the answer is “A”. A. Vascular tissues include the xylem and phloem which are located in the stems of vascular plants and function to transport water and nutrients up and down the stems. Mosses do not have vascular tissues. B. Protected gametes, or the sperm and eggs are produced by the gametophyte generation of moss plants. The gametes of moss plants are surrounded by a jacket of sterile cells that keep the gametes from drying out C. Alternation of generations is the alternation between the haploid gametophyte generation that produces haploid gametes, and the diploid sporophyte generation that produces haploid spores. D. Archegonium and antheridium are the names of the female and male reproductive structures in mosses. The male moss gametes (i.e., the sperm) form in the antheridium. Each antheridium forms many sperm. The female moss gamete (i.e., the egg) forms in the archegonium. Each archegonium forms just one egg. E. Mitosis is the form of cell di
