Question
Chapter 19, Problem 5MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The sexual life of moss includes a stalk which is attached to gametophyte known as sporophyte. The formation of gametes is through mitosis and the formation of spores is through meiosis.

Which of the following statements is NOT true of the stems of vascular plants?

b. Primary growth only occurs at the shoot apical meristem.
c. Vascular tissues may be arranged on the outside of the stem or scattered throughout the stem.
d. Stems can contain stomata.
Primary phloem develops from:
A.
lateral meristem
B.
protoderm
C.
extrastelar cambium
D.
provascular tissue
Ferns differ from mosses in having:
O a. There is no separate gametophyte and sporophyte (each plant changes from sexual to asexual).
O b. The gametophyte is dioecious (single sex).
Oc. The sperm are transported by wind.
O d. Afunction of the roots is to absorb water from the soil.
O e. Dispersal is no longer by spores.
