Yes. C.
Ferns reproduce by spores.
Hopefully Dragon Master still has his neck
oh wait never mind I found the answer, Its "C"
heil
It's 2021 now, does Dragon Master have a neck?
To find the correct answer, let's first understand the life cycle of ferns. Ferns exhibit alternation of generations, meaning they have two distinct phases in their life cycle: the sporophyte and the gametophyte.
The sporophyte is the dominant phase in the life cycle of ferns. It is the larger, more visible plant that we commonly refer to as a fern. The sporophyte produces structures called spores, which are reproductive cells that are capable of growing into a new gametophyte.
Now, let's go through the answer choices one by one:
A.) CONES, WHICH GROW INTO A GAMETOPHYTE: This option is incorrect because ferns do not produce cones. Cones are typically associated with gymnosperms like pine trees.
B.) GAMETES, WHICH GROW INTO A GAMETOPHYTE: This option is also incorrect because gametes are not produced directly by the sporophyte in ferns. Gametes are the reproductive cells produced by the gametophyte phase.
C.) SPORES, WHICH GROW INTO A GAMETOPHYTE: This option is correct. In ferns, the sporophyte produces spores. These spores are released into the environment and can grow into a new gametophyte plant when conditions are right.
D.) SEEDS, WHICH GROW INTO A GAMETOPHYTE: This option is incorrect. Unlike seed-producing plants like angiosperms, ferns do not produce seeds.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.) SPORES, WHICH GROW INTO A GAMETOPHYTE. The sporophyte in ferns produces spores, which eventually develop into a gametophyte plant.
