NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A sporophyte (/ˈspɔːr. əˌfaɪt/) is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga which produces asexual spores. This stage alternates with a multicellular haploid gametophyte phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fertilization gives rise to a multicellular diploid sporophyte, which produces haploid spores via meiosis. This type of life cycle is called a haplodiplontic life cycle (Figure 20.1).

Detailed explanation-3: -The sporophyte is diploid, but the spores are haploid. The spores disperse and germinate into new gametophytes, repeating the process (see Figure 1.4.

Detailed explanation-4: -spo·ro·phyte ˈspȯr-ə-ˌfīt. : the diploid multicellular individual or generation of a plant with alternation of generations that begins from a diploid zygote and produces haploid spores by meiotic division compare gametophyte.

Detailed explanation-5: -The multicellular diploid plant structure is called the sporophyte, which produces spores through meiotic (asexual) division. The multicellular haploid plant structure is called the gametophyte, which is formed from the spore and give rise to the haploid gametes.
