This figure summarises the life cycle of a seed plant. The blue circles named A and B represent the sexually mature individual of each phase of the life cycle.
1) What is this life cycle called?
2) Plant B is in the diploid phase. What is another name for this plant?
3) If A is the haploid phase, in which phase would you find sepals? Write just the letter of the individual corresponding to the correct phase
4) If B is the haploid phase, in which phase would you find synergids? Write just the letter of the individual corresponding to the correct phase
5) If B is the diploid phase, in which phase would you find the nucellus? Write just the letter of the individual corresponding to the correct phase
6) If A is the diploid phase, in which phase would you find the sperm cells? Write just the letter of the individual corresponding to the correct phase
7) If A is the diploid phase, in which phase would you find selection on flower colour? Write just the letter of the individual corresponding…
