Question

Because its cells are diploid, the ovule is considered to be a part of the
A)gametophyte.
B)carpal.
C)embryo sac.
D)sporophyte.

Accepted Answer

Diploid cells are characteristic of sporophytes, so the ovule, as a diploid structure, is considered to be a part of the sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation produces haploid gametes, and the embryo sac (which contains the egg cell) is part of the gametophyte generation within the ovule. The carpal is the female reproductive structure in flowering plants that contains the ovules.
