Question

In plants ______.

Options

• gametes become a gametophyte

• spores become a sporophyte

• both sporophyte and gametophytes produce spores

• only a sporophyte produces spores

Answer 1

In plants only a sporophyte produces spores.

Explanation:

In plants, the sporophyte is the diploid generation that produces haploid spores by meiosis. These spores grow into the gametophyte, which produces gametes, not spores. Therefore, only the sporophyte generation produces spores in the plant life cycle.
