Bryophytes resemble algae in the following aspects
  1. Filamentous body, presence of vascular tissues and autotrophic nutrition
  2. Thallus like plant body, lack of vascular tissues and autotrophic nutrition
  3. Thallus like plant body, presence of roots and autotrophic nutrition
  4. Differentiation of plant body into root, stem and leaves and autotrophic nutrition

A
Filamentous body, presence of vascular tissues and autotrophic nutrition
B
Thallus like plant body, presence of roots and autotrophic nutrition
C
Differentiation of plant body into root, stem and leaves and autotrophic nutrition
D
Thallus like plant body, lack of vascular tissues and autotrophic nutrition
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D Thallus like plant body, lack of vascular tissues and autotrophic nutrition
The similarities between bryophytes and algae are: The plants are usually thalloid in nature; the roots are absent and instead it is replaced by the root like unicellular or the multicellular structures called rhizoids; the cell walls are made up of cellulose; the reserve food materials are the starch; the mode of nutrition is autotrophic since it possesses chloroplast; vascular tissue like xylem and phloem are absent, which are the characteristics of higher plants; gametophytic phase is the dominant phase in the life cycle; formation of flagellate and motile sperms; usually whiplash flagella; water is needed for fertilization; the young gametophytic phases of most mosses are green and filamentous which resembles the thallus of green algae.
Hence the correct option is D.
