Question

question 9 of 10
what is a sporophyte?
a. a haploid form of a plant
b. a seed with a protective coat
c. a seed without a protective coat
d. a diploid form of a plant

Explanation:

A sporophyte is a diploid (2n) form of a plant that results from the fertilization of gametes. It produces spores through meiosis. It is the dominant phase in the life - cycle of many plants. The other options are incorrect descriptions. A seed with a protective coat is a seed, not a sporophyte. A seed without a protective coat is not a standard description related to sporophytes. And a haploid form of a plant is a gametophyte, not a sporophyte.

Answer:

A. A diploid form of a plant
