Question

Place the following words into the illustration below: gametes, sporophyte, gametophyte, and zygote. Explain how the terms are related.

Answer 1

gametes  gametophyte  sporophyte zygote

Answer 2

The correct match would be:

1. gametophytes

2. gametes

3. zygote

4. sporophyte

It represents the alternation of generation in which a diploid sporophyte with the help of meiosis produces haploid spores.

The spores develop into haploid gametophytes which produce gametes (egg and sperm) with the help of mitotic division.

The male and female gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote which matures into the diploid sporophytes.
