Question

The correct sequences of reproductive stages is the following in plants is

• A. gamates, zygote, embryo, seedlings.
• B. zygote, gamets, embryo, seedlings.
• C. seedlings, embryo, zygote, gamates.
• D. gamates, embryo, seedlings, zygote.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

gamates, zygote, embryo, seedlings.

• Gametes a mature haploid male or female germ cell which is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.
• The zygote is a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes; a fertilized ovum.
• Then comes the embryo and seedling.
• Hence The correct sequence of reproductive stages seen in flowering plants is gametes, zygote, embryo, seedling.
• So, the correct answer is 'gametes, zygote, embryo, seedlings'.
