Which of the following statements about the life cycle of flowering plants is true?
A
The sporophyte stage in flowering plants is haploid.
B
The gametophyte stage in flowering plants is dominant and visible.
C
Flowering plants undergo alternation of generations, with a dominant sporophyte stage.
D
Flowering plants reproduce only through asexual means.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of alternation of generations in plants, which involves two distinct phases: the sporophyte and gametophyte stages.
Recognize that in flowering plants, the sporophyte stage is the dominant phase. This means it is the most visible and prevalent stage in the life cycle.
Identify that the sporophyte stage in flowering plants is diploid, not haploid. It produces spores through meiosis that develop into the gametophyte stage.
Note that the gametophyte stage in flowering plants is not dominant or visible. It is typically reduced and exists within the tissues of the sporophyte.
Understand that flowering plants reproduce through both sexual and asexual means, but sexual reproduction involves the alternation of generations with a dominant sporophyte stage.
