The option that CORRECTLY represents the characteristics of the sporophyte and gametophyte generations of a gymnosperm is:
Correct answer: A. Independent and dominant, less conspicuous and dependent
- A. Independent and dominant, less conspicuous and dependent
- B. Less conspicuous and dependent, independent and dominant
- C. Dependent and dominant, more conspicuous and independent
- D. More conspicuous and independent, dependent and dominant
Explanation
In gymnosperms, the life cycle includes two distinct generations: the sporophyte and the gametophyte. The sporophyte generation is the most visible and dominant phase, characterized by being independent and capable of producing spores. So option A is correct.
