A pine tree is generally a Sporophyte - a multicellular, diploid, spore-producing organism. However, the created spores are haploid, and thus begin the gametophyte phase, in which the microspores (pollen) and megaspores (female receptors), will combine back into a gamete, and begin the sporophyte stage again.
So, the pine tree is mostly sporophyte, but has very small gametophyte parts that create gametes. They're very small, but they're there.

∙ 14y agoNo, a pine tree can be considered both a spermatophyte (as it bears seeds) and a gymnosperm (as those seeds are not enclosed and thus naked), but not a bryophyte.

What is the seed case of a pine tree?
Pine trees bear their seeds in the female pine cone.
What is the main plant in gymnosperms?
When you see a pine tree, or a spruce, or a cone-bearing shrub, the "main plant" is a sporophyte
What is the main plant gymnosperms?
When you see a pine tree, or a spruce, or a cone-bearing shrub, the "main plant" is a sporophyte
Where the seed of pine tree is?
The seed of pine tree develops on the ovuleferous scale in female cone.
What protects a young sporophyte?
what is a cone
What is a example of sporophyte?
Three examples of a sporophyte are Polypodium, mosses, and a pine tree.
Does a pine tree reproduce with leaves roots or stems?
Pine trees have seeds in the cone. Ferns are the only plants that I can think of off hand that have spores (I'm sure that there are more out there). Otherwise, if it is a natural plant, one that was not created from grafting/hybridization and so on, it has seeds.
Are there male and female pine cones?
ALL pine trees are cone-bearing -that's where the pine-nuts come from. AND that is WHY they are classified as coniferous.(Coniferous means cone bearing.)
What cell does the gametophyte generation 1n begin in each pine cone?
In the female pine cone, the gametophyte generation (1N) begins in the megasporangium. For males, it begins in the microsporangium.
What is the male gametophyte of a pine tree?
A pine tree is generally a Sporophyte - a multicellular, diploid, spore-producing organism. However, the created spores are haploid, and thus begin the gametophyte phase, in which the microspores (pollen) and megaspores (female receptors), will combine back into a gamete, and begin the sporophyte stage again.
Life cycle of cycas?
Cycas plant has alternation of gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The main plant body is sporophyte and it bears the male cone and megasporophylls. The male and female gamentes are produced in the male cone and megasporophyll respectively. After pollination and fertilization of ovules the seeds are produced on megasporophylls. These seeds on maturity disperse and germinate to produce a new sporophyte. Male and female cycas plants grow separately.
What constitute the sporophyte in pine?
When a seed germinates, the embryo within it develops into a new tree that constitutes the sporophyte. ........... stupid
