1) Compare and contrast the life cycles of bryophytes‚ seedless vascular plants and gymnosperms. Focus your answer on traits (structures or processes) that affect the success of various transitions in the life cycle. How do any of the differences you mention affect the relative success of these different groups in dry environments? All bryophytes‚ for example‚ liverworts‚ mosses and hornworts‚ have the gametophyte generation as the most dominant. Antheridia and archegonia develop on the mature
