Compared with the gametophytes of the bryophytes, the gametophytes of vascular plants tend to be:

  1. A
    Larger and to have larger sex organs
  2. B
    Smaller but to have larger sex organs
  3. C
    Larger but to have smaller sex organs
  4. D
    Smaller and to have smaller sex organs

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
