Which of the Following is True Concerning Flowering Plants

Question

Which of the following is true concerning flowering plants?
A)The flower includes sporophyte tissue.
B)The gametophyte generation is dominant.
C)The gametophyte generation is what we see when looking at a large plant.
D)The sporophyte generation is not photosynthetic.
E)The sporophyte generation consists of relatively few cells within the flower.

Accepted Answer

The flower includes sporophyte tissue, which is responsible for producing the gametes (pollen and ovules) necessary for sexual reproduction. The sporophyte generation is dominant in flowering plants, meaning that it is the larger and more visible stage of the plant's life cycle. The gametophyte generation is small and often contained within the flower, where it produces gametes via mitosis. The sporophyte generation is photosynthetic, and consists of many cells throughout the plant.
