Which generation is short-lived in bryophytes? Choose all appropriate solutions Gametophyte Sporophyte The diploid one The haploid one

The correct answers are **Sporophyte** and **The diploid one**.<br /><br />In bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts), the sporophyte generation is the short-lived, dependent generation. It remains attached to the gametophyte and derives its nourishment from it. The sporophyte is the diploid (2n) phase of the life cycle. The gametophyte is the dominant, long-lived, haploid (1n) generation in bryophytes.<br />
