Question

In Figure 22-4, which letters indicate the sporophyte or structures that include the sporophyte?

Answer 1

Letters indicate the sporophyte or structures that include the sporophyte

A, G, H, I, J

Explanation:

• A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga. It develops from the zygote produced when a haploid egg cell is fertilized by a haploid sperm and each sporophyte cell therefore has a double set of chromosomes, one set from each parent.
• The basic function of the sporophyte is to create spores – that much is known already.
• The spores produce the gametophytes that give rise to the male and female gametes through the process of meiosis
• Sporophyte the asexual and usually diploid phase, producing spores from which the gametophyte arise.
• It is the dominant form in vascular plants.
• A sporophyte is a multicellular diploid generation found in plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations. It produces haploid spores that develop into a gametophyte.
• The gametophyte then makes gametes that fuse and grow into a sporophyte
