Most plants have a reproductive cycle called alternation of generations, whereby a gametophyte and sporophyte generation each gives rise to the other. Classify the characteristics as describing a gametophyte or a sporophyte. Not all answer choices will be placed.

Gametophyte or Sporophyte

a. produces sperm and eggs
b. produces spores
c. relatively small
d. relatively large
e. has one set of chromosomes
f. has two sets of chromosomes
g. originates from a spore
h. originates from a zygote

gametophyte: a, d, e

sporophyte: b, c, f

Explanation:

GAMETOPHYTE

they produces sperm and eggs that are a haploid in number (one set of chromosomes). combination of the two haploid cells gives rise to a diploid zygote. They are typically larger than the sporophyte particularly the megagametophyte.

SPOROPHYTE

They produce spores that are tiny diploid cells (two sets of chromosomes) that can on their own undergo a form of asexual reproduction.

an example of a phylum that can undergo both processes are the Bryophytes
