The Life Cycles of Plants — Quiz

Question 1 • TPS EdX Biology

What do all plant life cycles have in common?

Answer
A
Sporophytes are formed by meiosis.
B
Diploid and haploid phases alternate.
C
Fertilization produces seeds.
D
Sperm cells are carried by the wind to egg cells.

Explanation

All plants have alternation of generations: their life cycles switch between a haploid phase and a diploid phase. The diploid sporophyte is produced after fertilization, not by meiosis, so A is incorrect. Fertilization does not always produce seeds, and sperm do not always travel by wind, so C and D are not true of all plants.
