Question

Which among the following is incorrect?

(a) In bryophytes, haploid gametophyte is the dominant phase

(b) In Volvox, haploid gametophyte is the dominant phase

(c) In Spirogyra, diploid Sporophyte is the dominant phase

(d) In Pappaya, haploid gametophyte is the dominant phase

This question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The question is from Plant Kingdom in chapter Plant Kingdom of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) In Spirogyra, diploid Sporophyte is the dominant phase

To explain I would say: Haploid gametophyte is the dominant phase in bryophytes and in volvox. Also in Spirogyra, the diploid Sporophyte is the dominant phase. In Papaya, haploid gametophyte is the dominant phase.
