Question
What ploidy level does the sporophyte generation have and what generation (sporophyte or gametophyte) is dominant in mosses?Group of answer choices2n; gametophyte2n; sporophyte1n; sporophyte1n; gametophyte
Solution
The sporophyte generation has a 2n ploidy level, meaning it is diploid and contains two sets of chromosomes. In mosses, the gametophyte generation is dominant. So, the correct answer is "2n; gametophyte".
