This question is asking us to relate the reproduction of plants to the forms we're going to see, namely the sporophyte and the gametophyte.
00:19
Our sporophyte is going to be the whole organism and consist of a complete whole portion of the dna structure.
00:33
Whereas the gametophyte is going to be our gamete.
00:37
It's going to be the sexual component.
00:39
Of the plant and will consist of half of the dna structure.
00:48
This will relate in a sort of cyclical function between the sporophyte and the gametophyte.
01:05
So again our sporophyte is going to be that plant structure whereas the gametophyte is going to be say a spore or some sort of sexual reproductive component.
01:22
The sporophyte, just like any organism, is going to undergo mitosis to replicate its own cells, and it's also going to undergo meiosis so that it can undergo its sexual reproduction.
01:40
So its meiosis is going to create gametophytes, and as you can imagine, there are different combinations of the chromosomes of the sporophyte...
