Question

Arrange the stages of non-flowering plant reproduction in order:

Sporophyte Gametes Gametophyte Zygote Spores

Answer 1

The stages of non-flowering plant reproduction can be arranged in the following order:

1. **Sporophyte** - The diploid phase that produces spores through meiosis.
2. **Spores** - The haploid cells that are produced by the sporophyte and can develop into gametophytes.
3. **Gametophyte** - The haploid phase that develops from the spores and produces gametes.
4. **Gametes** - The reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) produced by the gametophyte.
5. **Zygote** - The diploid cell formed when the gametes fuse during fertilization.

So, the complete order is:
Sporophyte → Spores → Gametophyte → Gametes → Zygote
