The electrodisintegration of the deuteron in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter approach with a separable kernel of the nucleon-nucleon interaction is considered. This conception keeps the covariance of a description of the process. The reaction is investigated within the relativistic plane-wave impulse approximation. When the photon-neutron interaction is neglected, the factorization of the cross section into photon-proton and spectator parts is demonstrated. The calculations performed for the cases both with and without the photon-neutron interaction show that the neutron plays an important role. The comparison of the results of relativistic and nonrelativistic descriptions is presented.
