- B.Some Liverworts✓
- C.Mosses
- D.Pteridophytes
Correct Answer
(B) Some Liverworts
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (B) Some Liverworts. Solution: Gemmae are green, multicellular, asexual buds that develop in gemma cups located on the thalli of liverworts (e.g. Marchantia); they detach and germinate into new individuals. This is a feature of liverworts, not of gymnosperms, mosses or pteridophytes. NCERT Reference: Class XI Biology, Plant Kingdom, p.29, lines 41-43 — "specialised structures called gemmae (sing. gemma). Gemmae are green, multicellular, asexual buds, which develop in small receptacles called gemma cups located on the thalli".
