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: -After meiosis, male and female gametes of the plant are formed in this phase. Diploid: This phase is also known as the sporophyte. The two gametes formed combine together to form the zygote, which further develops to form the spore.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -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.
