Questions and Answers

Which of the following describes a critical advantage of the alternation of generations life cycle in land plants?

  • It restricts plants to aquatic environments, ensuring consistent hydration for fertilization.
  • It ensures that a single, dominant generation can quickly adapt to changing environmental conditions.
  • It provides a mechanism for both sexual reproduction (fertilization) and dispersal of offspring, increasing adaptability. (correct)
  • It simplifies the reproductive process, eliminating the need for genetic variation in offspring.

How do seed plants overcome the need for water to achieve fertilization, a challenge faced by their non-seed plant ancestors?

  • They utilize spores adapted for aquatic dispersal to reach the female gametes.
  • They exclusively rely on asexual reproduction to bypass the need for fertilization.
  • They depend on external water sources to facilitate sperm motility and fertilization.
  • They have evolved pollen, which carries the male gametophyte through the air to the female gametophyte. (correct)

What is the primary function of the sporophyte generation, the diploid phase, in the plant life cycle?

  • To conduct photosynthesis, providing energy for plant growth and development.
  • To develop directly into the embryo after fertilization.
