Concept explainers
(A)
To identify:
Whether sporophyte is haploid or diploid structure.
Introduction:
The haploid structures are those that contain‘n’ set of chromosome and the diploid structures are those which contain ‘2n’ set of chromosome.
(B)
To identify:
Whether spore is haploid or diploid structure.
Introduction:
The haploid structures are those that contain‘n’ set of chromosome and the diploid structures are those which contain ‘2n’ set of chromosome.
(C)
To identify:
Whether gametophyte is haploid or diploid structure.
Introduction:
The haploid structures are those that contain‘n’ set of chromosome and the diploid structures are those which contain ‘2n’ set of chromosome.
(D)
To identify:
Whether zygote is haploid or diploid structure.
Introduction:
The haploid structures are those that contain‘n’ set of chromosome and the diploid structures are those which contain ‘2n’ set of chromosome.
