Gametophytes of sexually reproducing flowering plants are

Options

AHaploid
BDiploid
CTetraploid
DPolyploid

Correct answer

A. Haploid

Step-by-step solution

The gametophyte is the multi-cellular structure (plant) that is haploid, containing a single set of chromosomes in each cell. The gametophyte produces male or female gametes (or both) by a process of cell division called mitosis.
