Verified by Toppr

  • In bryophytes fertilization and post fertilization changes take place in the archegonium, anchored by gametophyte.
  • The diploid zygote formed after fertilization of the antherozoids and the egg cell undergoes development to form the diploid sporophyte, meiosis takes place in the sporophyte to produce haploid spores that on germination produce the protonema of the gametophyte.
So, the correct answer is 'archegonium.'
