Question 8 • TPS EdX Biology

In a plant’s life cycle, how many sporophyte generations occur between one gametophyte generation and the next time that eggs and sperm are produced?

Answer
A
zero
B
one
C
two
D
four

Explanation

A gametophyte produces eggs and sperm. After fertilization, the zygote grows into one sporophyte generation, which produces spores that develop into the next gametophyte. So one sporophyte generation occurs before eggs and sperm are produced again; the correct choice is “one.”
