Question

The correct sequence of reproductive stages seen in flowering plants is

• A. gametes, zygote, embryo, seedling
• B. zygote, gametes, embryo, seedling
• C. seedling, embryo, zygote, gametes
• D. gametes, embryo, zygote, seedling

Answer 1

The correct option is A

gametes, zygote, embryo, seedling

The correct option is A.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. In the case of flowering plants, the order of reproductive stages is as follows:
   1. Gametes
   2. Zygote
   3. Embryo
   4. Seeds
2. The male gamete pollen is present in the grain which is formed in the microspore mother cell by mycotic division into another.
3. The female gamete is an egg that forms in the embryonic sac in the ovary.
4. The male gamete and the female gamete are fused to form a zygote by the process of fertilization, which undergoes repeated division to form an embryo.
5. The embryo develops and matures in the seed, which germinates from water absorption to form a new seed.

Final answer: The correct sequence of reproductive stages seen in flowering plants is gametes, zygote, embryo, and seedling.
