Question

  1. 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.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

The plant is diploid.
