Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sporophytes are the largest and most inclusive structures, as they are the complete diploid organisms that produce spores. Sporophylls are the leaves or specialized structures that bear sporangia, which are the structures that produce spores. Spores are the smallest and least inclusive structures, as they are the haploid cells that develop into gametophytes. Therefore, the correct order from largest to smallest is sporophytes, sporophylls, sporangia, spores, making choice D the correct answer.
