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

Sporophyte Gametes Gametophyte Zygote Spores

1 answer

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
