Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook, the life cycle of bryophytes generally follows this sequence:

  1. The dominant plant body is the gametophyte which is attached to the substratum by rhizoids .
  2. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of antherozoid with the egg (fertilisation) to produce a zygote .
  3. The zygote produces a multicellular body called a sporophyte .
  4. Some cells of the sporophyte undergo reduction division (meiosis) to produce haploid spores .
