Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In plants, the haploid gametophyte produces gametes (sperm and eggs) through mitosis. These gametes then fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which grows into the diploid sporophyte. This cycle of alternation between the haploid gametophyte and the diploid sporophyte is a fundamental characteristic of the plant life cycle.
