Directions
For multiple choice questions, write the letter that best answers the question or completes the
statement on the line provided. For other question types, follow the directions provided.

_______ 1. As plants have evolved, the diploid, or ___________, phase of the plant life
cycle, has increased in size and complexity.
a. gametophyte
b. bryophyte
c. sporophyte
d. diplophyte
