Within the typical sexual reproduction of green algae, the genetic composition of the sporophyte form of the protist is

A. limited to the DNA found within the chloroplasts, because the sporophyte is a dormant form of the protist.

B. 1n, or haploid, because the sporophyte follows meiosis.

C. 2n, or diploid, because the sporophyte follows fertilization, growing and differentiating through numerous cell cycles.

D. None of the answer choices is correct.

E. reproduced through mitosis, after the zygote single cell has formed.


C. 2n, or diploid, because the sporophyte follows fertilization, growing and differentiating through numerous cell cycles.
