1
The sexual life cycle of flowering plants is adapted to life on land. Which statement about this lifecycle is true?
A)External water is only needed for the fertilization part of the cycle.
B)A flower produces two types of spores by mitosis: microspores and megaspores.
C)In the anther, microspores undergo meiosis to become pollen grains, the male gametophyte.
D)Fertilization takes place without any external water because a pollen tube allows sperm to reach an egg in the ovule.
