A researcher brings a sample of dry soil to the lab, wets it, provides ample amounts of fertilizer, and places the soil in a container in a greenhouse. Which type of plant would be least likely to emerge?

OPTIONS:

A. Pine seedling B. Sunflower C. Corn D. Wheat E. Liverwort

E. Liverwort

Explanation:

Liverworts are non-vascular plants that reproduce by producing spores. Liverworts are mostly found in damp and moist areas where they emerge better.

Among the options given, Liverwort is the least likely to emerge simply because of the nature or characteristics of Liverworts that make them prefer damp or moist environment to thrive better. A a result of lack of vascular tissues in Liverwort, which is important for plants to carry and store water throughout the plants, a continuous absorption of water is needed for the Liverwort to thrive since it is poor in transporting and storing water, unlike the other plants listed .

not always but somethings can be reproduced in a laboratory.
