Biologist: Species with broad geographic ranges probably tend to endure longer than species with narrow ranges. The broader a sp
ecies’ range, the more likely that species is to survive the extinction of populations in a few areas. Therefore, it is likely that the proportion of species with broad ranges tends to gradually increase with time.
I'm guessing sporophyte. I know mosses are nonvascular (they don't conduct their own food or water). They go through haploid and diploid phases. The haploid phase is most prominent in mosses. Sorry if this isn't helpful.
