Questions: pollen is carried by wind Gymnosperms Bryophytes Angiosperms

The answer is the first one: Gymnosperms.

Explanation for each option:

1. Gymnosperms: Correct. Gymnosperms, such as pine trees, typically rely on wind for the dispersal of their pollen. They produce large quantities of pollen to increase the chances of successful fertilization since wind dispersal is less targeted than animal pollination.

2. Bryophytes: Incorrect. Bryophytes, which include mosses and liverworts, do not rely on wind for pollen dispersal. Instead, they reproduce via spores and require water for the movement of sperm to the egg.

3. Angiosperms: Incorrect. While some angiosperms (flowering plants) do use wind for pollen dispersal (e.g., grasses and many trees), the majority rely on animals (insects, birds, bats) for pollination. The question seems to be looking for the primary group associated with wind pollination, which is gymnosperms.

Summary: Gymnosperms are the primary group of plants that rely on wind for pollen dispersal, making them the correct answer to the question.
