The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the life cycle of sexually reproducing plants and the alternation of generations, we can break it down step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - In the life cycle of sexually reproducing plants, there are two main generations: the **gametophyte** and the **sporophyte**. - The **gametophyte** is haploid (n), meaning it has one set of chromosomes. - The **sporophyte** is diploid (2n), meaning it has two sets of chromosomes. 2. **Identifying the Process**: - The life cycle begins with **spores** produced by the diploid sporophyte. - These spores undergo mitosis to develop into the haploid **gametophyte**. 3. **Gamete Production**: - The **gametophyte** produces male and female **gametes** (sperm and egg cells). - This process is crucial as it allows for sexual reproduction. 4. **Fertilization**: - The male and female gametes fuse during fertilization to form a **zygote**. - The zygote is diploid and develops into the sporophyte. 5. **Completion of the Cycle**: - The sporophyte eventually produces spores, completing the cycle. - Thus, the cycle alternates between the haploid gametophyte producing gametes and the diploid sporophyte producing spores. 6. **Filling in the Blanks**: - For part (A), we need to identify what is produced by the haploid gametophyte: **gametes**. - For part (B), we need to identify what is produced by the diploid sporophyte: **spores**. ### Final Answer: (A) gametes producing by haploid gametophyte and (B) spores producing by diploid sporophyte. ---
