Haploid gametophytic

Open in App
Solution

●Diploid sporophytic ---Plants may look simple, but the way they preserve their species is anything but. They have a life cycle which involves alternation between a generation of one set of chromosomes (haploid) and two sets of chromosomes (diploid) in order to reproduce.
While the term sporophyte is referred to as plants that produce spores, the real definition is more complicated and interesting. In a plant’s life cycle, the spore-producing phase is called sporophyte.

●Haploid gametophytic
--Alternation of generations is a type of life cycle found in all plants and some algae species. This process involves a multicellular diploid generation called a sporophyte and a multicellular haploid generation called a gametophyte. Diploid means having two sets of chromosomes in your cells and is usually written as '2n'. Haploid means having only one set of chromosomes in your cells and is written as 'n.'
