How is a seed like a spore?
A) They both are haploid.
B) They both give rise to the sporophyte generation.
C) They both give rise to the gametophyte generation.
D) They both are flagellated.
E) They both disperse the species.
Sporophyte Generation
The diploid phase in the life cycle of plants and algae that produces spores through meiotic division, alternating with the gametophyte generation.
Gametophyte Generation
The sexual phase in the life cycle of plants and algae that produces gametes.
