In this article we will discuss about the asexual and sexual modes of reproduction in anthoceros with the help of diagrams. Asexual Reproduction in Anthoceros: By progressive death and decay of older parts of thallus vegetative reproduction is not so common in Anthoceros as in other liverworts, Instead the thallus is capable of producing many […]
