Which of the following distinguishes the life cycle of pteridophytes from that of bryophytes?
1. The main plant body in pteridophytes is haploid, while in bryophytes it is diploid.
2. In pteridophytes, the gametophyte is independent, while in bryophytes the sporophyte is independent.
3. Pteridophytes have a dominant sporophyte generation, while bryophytes have a dominant gametophyte generation.
4. Bryophytes possess well-differentiated vascular tissues, unlike pteridophytes.

The spreading of living pteridophyte is limited and is restricted to narrow geographical region because of

1. Growth requirements of gametophyte (cool, damp and shady places).
2. Requirement of water for fertilisation.
3. Absence of stomata in leaf and absence of vascular tissue.
4. Both (a) and (b).
