Alternation of generations is the fluctuation of the diploid and haploid stages in plants. The diploid stage occurs through mitosis while the haploid stage works through meisos and asexual reproduction. In vascular plants, the diploid stage produces seeds. In non-vascular plants, the haploid stage produces the spores.

Alternation of generations is developed due to haploid and diploid condition in plant. Haploid has n number of chromosome and diploid has 2n number of chromosome.

Further Explanation:

All the living things reproduce through a process referred to as reproduction. The process of reproduction can occur in two types:

• Asexual reproduction

• Sexual reproduction

The asexual reproduction is a major type of reproduction in single-cell organisms like bacteria, Protista and archaea. Some fungi and plants also reproduce sexually. In this process, the offspring is produced from one parent and also pass the genetic information from one parent. The offspring is exact copy of parent because there is no genetic variation.

Alternation of generations is the fluctuation of the diploid and haploid stages in plants. The diploid stage takes place by the process of mitosis. On the other hand the haploid stage takes place by the process of asexual reproduction and meiosis. In the vascular plants, the diploid stage generates seeds. In the non-vascular plants, haploid stage makes the spores.

Which of the following would you expect to contain cells with the same number of chromsomes as an egg cell in a plant? (Pick all
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option -  A. Gametophyte, C. spore, and D. sperm.

Explanation:

The egg cell of a plant is haploid in the cell which means it has only one set of chromosomes. The haploid cells arise from the meiosis cell division in parent sex cells. These parent cells are divided into four cells with half of the chromosome number in comparison to the parent cells.

The gametophyte, spore, and sperm all three are the product of the meiosis division and are haploid in number.

Thus, the correct answer is option - A, gametophyte, C. spore and D. sperm.

What phenotypic ratio would you expect as a result of a test cross between a dihybrid organism and one that is homozygous recess
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

¼ or 25% will be dihybrid organisms, ¼ will be heterozygous at first locus and recessive homozygous at other locus , ¼ of them will be recessive homozygous at first locus and heterozygous at other locus, and ¼ of them will be homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci.

Explanation:

A dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci. So if we name one gene with D and other gene with R, dihybrid organism will have genotype DdRr.

If we cross that organism with the one that is homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci ddrr:

P: DdRr  x ddrr
