Question

The gametophyte of Marchantia is described as a prostrate thallus that generally spreads across the ground. What is a key characteristic of its branching pattern?
Options
A Monopodial branching
B Pinnate branching
C Dichotomous branching
Correct Answer
D Whorled branching
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 15 states: "The thallus is green, characterized by repeated branching into two parts (dichotomous branching) as it grows, with a dorsal (top) and ventral (bottom) surface." Dichotomous branching is a type of branching where the apex divides into two equal branches.

Hint

Look for the description of the thallus's growth and branching pattern in the 'MARCHANTIA' section.
