Question
- the prefix sporo- insporophyte tells you what about the plant?
the plant is nonvascular.
the plant is haploid.
the plant is vascular.
the plant is diploid.
In plants, the sporophyte generation is diploid. The term "sporo -" is related to spores, and the sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores. But the key point here is the ploidy level of the sporophyte itself. Non - vascular (like mosses have a dominant gametophyte), vascular (trait not directly related to the prefix here), and haploid (gametophyte is haploid in the alternation of generations) are incorrect. The sporophyte is diploid.
