Question

Which of the following is true of conifers? A) The sporophytes grow directly from the gametophyte. B) The gametophytes grow directly from the sporophyte. C) The spores release from the male cones. D) The spores release from the gametophyte .

Answer 1

Answer - B
Conifers are seed plants and the spores are not released from the male cones, instead the gametophytes grow directly from the sporophyte.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, The gametophytes grow directly from the sporophyte

Explanation:

Conifers are gymnosperm which reproduce through the exposed seeds (seeds not included in fruits) found in the cones. The trees or plant on which these conifers grow are called sporophytes. In the sporophyte, the male and female gametes fuse together to form zygote which further develops into a seed. At the right time, these seeds get dispersed into wind and they grow into new plants known as sporophytes.
