Selaginella and Salvinia are considered to represent a significant step toward evolution of seed habit because
Megaspores possess endosperm and embryo surrounded by seed coat
Embryo develops in female gametophyte which is retained on parent sporophyte
Female gametophyte is free and gets dispersed like seeds
Female gametophyte lacks archegonia
Answers (1)
The correct option is Option 2) Embryo develops in the female gametophyte, which is retained on the parent sporophyte.
Selaginella and Salvinia are both examples of plants that belong to the group known as fern allies or seedless vascular plants. These plants represent an important step in the evolution of the seed habit, which eventually led to the development of seed plants.
In both Selaginella and Salvinia, the embryo develops within the female gametophyte, which remains attached to the parent sporophyte. This retention of the female gametophyte on the parent sporophyte represents a significant step toward the evolution of the seed habit. In seed plants, the female gametophyte is also retained within the parent sporophyte and protected by seed structures.
