A botanist discovers a new species of plant in a tropical rain forest. After observing its anatomy and life cycle, she notes the following characteristics: flagellated sperm, xylem, separate gametophyte and sporophyte generations with the sporophyte dominant, and no seeds. This plant is probably most closely related to mosses. ferns. gymnosperms. charophytes. O flowering plants.
