Question

what is the difference between
1) gametophytic and sporophytic
2)diploid and haploid??

Answer 1

Gametophytes are haploid (n) and have a single set of chromosomes, whereas Sporophytes are diploid (2n), i.e., they have two sets of chromosomes. ... A sporophyte reproduces asexually and a gametophyte sexually. Significance: For a diploid (2n) sporophyte to produce haploid (n) spores, the cells have to undergo meiosis.

Answer 2

(1) Gametophytes are haploid (n) and have a single set of chromosomes, whereas Sporophytes are diploid (2n), i.e., they have two sets ofchromosomes. ... A sporophytereproduces asexually and agametophyte sexually. Significance:For a diploid (2n) sporophyte to produce haploid (n) spores, the cells have to undergo meiosis.


(2) The main difference between haploidcells and diploid cells is diploid cells have two complete sets ofchromosomes, while haploid cells only have one complete set ofchromosomes. ... A haploid number is the amount of chromosomes inside the nucleus of one chromosomal set.
