NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sporophyte is the dominant generation, but multicellular male and female gametophytes are produced within the flowers of the sporophyte.

Detailed explanation-2: -The dominant part of the life cycle, i.e., the plant that is recognized as a fern, represents the sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation includes the phase of the life cycle between the formation of spores by meiosis and fertilization and formation of the zygote.

Detailed explanation-3: -In higher plants like ferns and fern allies, the sporophyte stage is dominant.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the l ife cycle of a fern, the sporophyte generation is dominant. A mature sporophyte fern has the familiar leafy fronds. The undersides of the leaves are dotted with clusters of sporangia. Sporangia produce s pores that develop into tiny, heart-shaped gametophytes.

Detailed explanation-5: -In mosses, the haploid gametophyte generation is dominant, whereas in vascular plants-including ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms-the diploid sporophyte generation is dominant.
