Which of the following is true in angiosperm life cycle?
Correct answer: C. Gametophytes are totally dependent on sporophytes
- A. Gametophyte are photosynthetic and partially independent than sporophyte
- B. Sporophytes are totally dependent on gametophytes
- C. Gametophytes are totally dependent on sporophytes
- D. Both gametophytes and sporophytes are totally dependent on each other
- E. Both gametophytes and sporophytes are totally independent of each other
Explanation
The statement "Gametophytes are totally dependent on sporophytes" is generally accurate in the context of the life cycle of plants that exhibit alternation of generations. This alternation involves two distinct phases. Plant sporophytes represent the asexual phase of the cycle and produce spores. In seed-bearing vascular plants, such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, the gametophyte is totally dependent on the sporophyte for development.
