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: -Sporophytes (2n) undergo meiosis to produce spores that develop into gametophytes (1n) which undergo mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -This zygote is resulted due to the fusion of two haploid gametes: male and female gametes. The formed zygote is later developed into a sporophyte, a diploid multicellular structure. This means that the sporophyte consists of two sets of chromosomes from each parent, and it is represented by the letter 2n.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants have two distinct stages in their lifecycle: the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. The haploid gametophyte produces the male and female gametes by mitosis in distinct multicellular structures.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sporophytes are plant generations that produce spores. Spores are produced by algae, bryophytes, angiosperms, and gymnosperms. A spore is a tiny structure that, after germination, gives rise to a new plant. Spores are classified into two types: mitotic spores and meiotic spores.
