What explains the differences between the progeny and parents?

Who proposed the laws of inheritance?

• Gregor Mendel explained the transmission of traits from parents to offspring
• Mendel devised the monohybrid and dihybrid crosses

Which is the CORRECT statement regarding gametophytes?

• Sporophytes are diploid (2n)
• Spores produced by meiosis are haploid (n)
• Gametophytes are haploid (n)
• Gametes formed will be haploid (n)
• Zygote formed will be diploid (2n)

Alternation of generation is important because:

• Alteration of generation is rotation between sporophyte and gametophytic generation
• Alteration of generation allows reproduction in plants depending upon the environmental conditions

Sporophyte produce spores by the process of ________________.

• Alteration of generation involves sporophyte and gametophytic phases
• Plants and algae will undergo change between haploid and diploid stages 
• The dominance of sporophyte and gametophytic phases depend on the type of the plant or algae

_________________ is seen when an embryo develops without fertilization by a male gamete.

• Fertilization requires fusion of female and male gametes
• Parthenocarpy is found in plants which are seedless 
• Male gamete is not required in the formation of fruit

Which of the following is wrong about the haplo-diplontic life cycle?

• Alteration of generation is the rotation of sporophyte and gametophyte phases
• Organism can follow either haplontic or diplontic or haplo-diplontic lifecycle
• Green algae follow haplontic lifecycle
• Pteridophytes and bryophytes follow haplo-diplontic lifecycle
• Angiosperms, gymnosperms follow diplontic lifecycle

Haplo-diplontic life cycle is found in ____________.

• Alteration of generation is the rotation of sporophyte and gametophyte phases
• Organism can follow either haplontic or diplontic or haplo-diplontic lifecycle
• Green algae follow haplontic lifecycle
• Fungus and bryophytes follow haplo-diplontic lifecycle
• Angiosperms, gymnosperms follow diplontic lifecycle

In which type of life cycle sporophyte generation is represented only by one-celled zygote?

• Green algae follow haplontic life cycle
• Gametophytes are dominant

Sporophyte generation is described by which of the following?

Which of the following life cycle is exhibited by Fucus?

• Diplontic life cycle has sporophyte phase as dominant and independent
• Angiosperms, gymnosperms, Fucus all show diplontic lifestyle

Which of the following is INCORRECT about the diplontic life cycle?

• Sporophyte is dominant in angiosperms and is independent plant
• Gametophyte is reduced form

The gametophyte in alternation generation is described by which of the following:

• Sporophyte stage is also called asexual phase
• Gametophyte stage is also called sexual phase

A gametophyte is __________ in nature.  

• Sporophyte stage is also called asexual phase
• Gametophyte stage is also called sexual phase

In sexual reproduction ______ gametes fuse to form _________ zygote.

• Cells are classified into somatic and gametes
• Somatic cells are diploid
• Gametes are haploid
• Haploid gametes fuse together to form diploid zygote
