The answer to your question is dominant haploid phase in life cycle

What is the significance of sporopollenin in bryophytes? It forms the archegonium wall, resistant to degradation by enzymes and chemicals, thus protecting the egg. It forms the spore wall, resistant to degradation by enzymes and chemicals, thus protecting the spores. It is a male gamete of bryophytes, thus helping in the fertilization of the egg.

OpenStudy (dqswag):

c!

OpenStudy (dqswag):

Anymore??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no that was last one and it was wrong :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks anyway

OpenStudy (dqswag):

Which one was??

OpenStudy (dqswag):

Sporopollenin is the tough resistant protective biopolymer that coats the outer walls of the spores released by the sporophyte generation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was B.

OpenStudy (dqswag):

That answer is wrong!! Sporopollenin is a major component of the tough outer (exine) walls of spores and pollen grains. It can withstand high temperates and no acid or enzyme is known that can degrade sporopollinin and this is accounted for presevation of the plant diversity and makes sure the continuity of plant in adverse conditions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue they say it is B.It forms the spore wall, resistant to degradation by enzymes and chemicals, thus protecting the spores.
