Which of the Following is True in Plants

Question

Which of the following is true in plants?
A) Mitosis occurs in gametophytes to produce gametes.
B) Meiosis occurs in sporophytes to produce spores.
C) The gametophyte is within the flower in angiosperms.
D) Mitosis occurs in gametophytes to produce gametes, and meiosis occurs in sporophytes to produce spores.
E) Mitosis occurs in gametophytes to produce gametes, meiosis occurs in sporophytes to produce spores, and the gametophyte is within the flower in angiosperms.

Accepted Answer

This is the only option that correctly includes all three statements as true. A and B only include one statement, while C is not entirely correct (the gametophyte is not always within the flower, as it can also be found in other reproductive structures such as cones in conifers).
