C-fern sporophyte plants produce distinct male and female strobili, which result in one adult plant producing pollen and a different adult plant producing ovules. TRUE or FALSE Because: C-fern sporophyte plants have rhizomes that function to transport nutrients and water absorbed from the substrate by the adventitious roots to the megaphylls. TRUE or FALSE Because: C-fern gametophyte individuals differ from bryophyte sporophyte individuals because C-fern gametophyte individuals use xylem and phloem, apoplast and symplast channels to move water and nutrients throughout their bodies, while only bryophyte sporophyte individuals use xylem and phloem, apoplast and symplast channels to move water and nutrients. TRUE or FALSE Because: Both archegonia and antheridia are multicellular gametophyte individuals. TRUE or FALSE Because:
