Question

Identify the labels A, B, C and D in the figure given below.

• A. A - Sporophyte; B – Meiosis;
  C - Gametogenesis; D - Endosperm
• B. A - Sporophyte; B – Mitosis;
  C - Gametogenesis; D - Zygote
• C. A - Gametophyte; B – Meiosis;
  C - Gametogenesis; D -Zygote
• D. A - Sporophyte; B – Meiosis;
  C - Gametogenesis; D – Zygote

Answer 1

The correct option is D A - Sporophyte; B – Meiosis;

C - Gametogenesis; D – Zygote

In haplo-diplontic life cycle, the diploid sporophyte and haploid gametophyte exhibit in an intermediate condition. The given diagram shows haplo-diplontic life cycle. The diploid sporophyte (A) cells undergo meiosis (B) to produce haploid spores. The spores germinate to form haploid gametophyte. The gametophyte produces gametes through gametogenesis (C). The gametes fuse together (syngamy) and form zygote (D).
