Question

early vascular plants rely on water for fertilization, while the sperm cannot move in conifers. true false

Explanation:

Early vascular plants (like ferns) do rely on water for sperm to swim to eggs. But in conifers (gymnosperms), sperm are non - motile (cannot move on their own). However, conifers use wind for pollen (which contains sperm) transfer, not water. So the statement is false as it wrongly implies a wrong comparison about the role of water in conifer fertilization.

Answer:

B. FALSE
