CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Diploid sporophyte cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores. Each spore goes through mitotic divisions to yield a multicellular, haploid gametophyte. Mitotic divisions within the gametophyte are required to produce the gametes. The diploid sporophyte results from the fusion of two gametes.

Detailed explanation-2: -These organisms, or generations, are called the sporophyte (spore-producing plant) and the gametophyte (gamete-producing plant). A spore is a cell that can grow into a new organism without combining with another cell. In contrast, gametes (sex cells) are cells that fuse during fertilization.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant life cycle consists of four stages; seed, sprout, small plant, and adult plant. When the seed gets planted into the soil with water and sun, then it will start to grow into a small sprout.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sporic life cycle is common algae and plants. The term sporic refers to the fact that spores are the result of meiosis. The sporic life cycle results from an alternation between a haploid and a diploid organism. Because of this, sometimes this cycle is referred to as the “alternation of generations".

Detailed explanation-5: -There are three different plant life cycles: haploid (1n), diploid (2n), and the more common haploid-diploid (1n-2n). A haploid organism consists of a multicellular structure of cells that contain only one set of chromosomes, whereas, a diploid organism’s multicellular stage contains two sets of chromosomes.
