23 The leafy stage in the life cycle of a moss:
1. develops from the primary protonema.
2. consists of upright, slender axes bearing spirally
arranged leaves.
3. is attached to the soil through unicellular and
unbranched rhizoids.
4. lacks the sex organs.

24 The pattern where a dominant, independent,

photosynthetic, thalloid or erect phase is represented by
a haploid gametophyte and it alternates with the short-
lived multicellular sporophyte totally or partially
dependent on the gametophyte for its anchorage and
nutrition is seen in:
