Which set of terms represents a haploid/diploid pair in the life cycle of sexual reproducers?
A
Zygote/Sporophyte
B
Sporophyte/Gamete
C
Gamete/Sporophyte
D
Zygote/Gamete
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of haploid and diploid: Haploid cells contain one complete set of chromosomes, while diploid cells contain two complete sets of chromosomes.
Identify the role of gametes in sexual reproduction: Gametes are haploid cells (sperm and egg) that fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.
Recognize the role of sporophytes in the life cycle: Sporophytes are diploid organisms that arise from the zygote and undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores.
Analyze the given options: Determine which pair consists of one haploid and one diploid term.
Select the correct pair: Gamete (haploid) and Sporophyte (diploid) represent the haploid/diploid pair in the life cycle of sexual reproducers.
