Which of the following pairs correctly matches a structure/cell with its ploidy level in the angiosperm life cycle as described and illustrated?
Explanation
The diagram and text indicate that the sporophyte plant, microsporocytes, megasporangium, megasporocytes, zygote, embryo, and seed coat are all diploid 2n . The microspores, megaspores, male gametophyte, female gametophyte, generative cell, tube cell, egg cell, and sperm nuclei are haploid n . The endosperm is typically triploid 3n as a result of double fertilization.
