Q: What is the structure in a diploid sporophyte that undergoes meiosis to form haploid spores?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

A general plant life cycle is represented by the diagram in Figure below . From the figure, you can see that the diploid sporophyte has a structure called a sporangium (plural, sporangia) that undergoes meiosis to form haploid spores. A spore develops into a haploid gametophyte. The gametophyte has male or female reproductive organs that undergo mitosis to form haploid gametes (sperm or eggs). Fertilization of gametes produces a diploid zygote. The zygote grows and develops into a mature sporophyte, and the cycle repeats.

 Choices:

- hymenium

- dikaryotic

- hyphae

- sporangium


A:
sporangium
