In the alternation of generations life cycle spores grow into gametophyte plants via a process called : A)Mitosis B)Meiosis C)Photosynthesis D)Gamete Formation @Abhisar sorry if im botherin u with my questions
Check ur last question for the revised answers !
Yeah, sorry katiegirl17. My mistake.
It's not C for sure
@PenguinRulez ??
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their food using sunlight !
I said it can't be C.
C is wrong, that is what I meant!
Oh..i see !
u r correct !
what do u think should be the answer ? @KatieGrl17
Before you come to any conclusions @KatieGrl17 meiosis occurs for reproduction and mitosis is basically replication.
So what do you think @KatieGrl17 ?
and gametophytes are haploid structures and spores are diploid structures !
Yep.
@KatieGrl17 ??
D)Gamete formation ?
You got it.
really ?
She told me she isn't that smart, but seriously, I think we gave too much information away. We're supposed to help them, not give them answer.
yes u r ryt but D is not correct !
This what i mean :)
*is
So D is wrong? Or what do you mean. Now I am confused.
So D is correct
i mean D is incorrect !
i thought u said it was right
Yeah, well, I gave the answer away, and FYI, C and D are wrong.
i said u r ryt that we should not give xact answers
WHAT???
Okay, just say it, is D right or wrong?
D IS INCORRECT
I think is is wrong, but I am not sure.
So what do you think @KatieGrl17
Gamete formation means production of diploid gamete. Which is unicellular
Mitosis ?
Gametophyte is another thing ! Its multicellular and gives rise to gametes by mitosis
So its mitosis
Spores---->Meiosis----->Gametophyte------>mitosis------>Gamete
So NOW what do you @KatieGrl17
got it ?
hmm..yes Sporophyte(2n)---->meiosis---->Spores(n)------>mitosis----->Gametophyte------>mitosis---->Gametes-------->Zygote(2n)------>meiosis
@Abhisar Yep, that is right. I have deleted my old post I want put up the moss lifecycle so people can see a familiar example. And here is a walkthrough via a website: http://www.sumanasinc.com/webcontent/animations/content/moss.html
\(\color{green}{\huge\ddot\smile}\)
So mitosis should be the answer to this question ! u were ryt @katieGrl17
