Question

Which of the following is the correct sequence during alternation of generations in a flowering plant?

• A. Sporophyte, Meiosis, Spores, Gametophyte, Gametes, Fertilisation, Diploid zygote
• B. Sporophyte, Mitosis, Gametophyte, Meiosis, Spore
• C. Haploid gametophyte, Gametes, Meiosis, Fertilization, Diploid sporophyte
• D. Sporophyte, Spores, Meiosis, Gametophyte, Gametes

Answer 1

The correct option is A Sporophyte, Meiosis, Spores, Gametophyte, Gametes, Fertilisation, Diploid zygote

The plant exhibit alternation of generations in their life cycle. The plant is the diploid sporophytic phase that produces the haploid spores through meiosis which develop to form the gametophyte. The haploid gametophyte produces haploid gametes which fuse during fertilization to form the diploid zygote which develops into the sporophyte (plant).

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
