You are a botanist surveying a previously unstudied island. You discover a plant that has a small freeliving

gametophyte that requires external water for fertilization. After fertilization, a large sporophyte
with xylem and phloem develops. The gametophyte dies, and the free-living sporophyte eventually
releases spores from sporangia on the margins of its leaves. Into which group should you classify this
plant?



a. cycads
b. seedless vascular plants
c. gymnosperms
d. angiosperms
e. monocots
