What process accomplishes the change from sporophyte to gametophyte?
It produces spores.
Why asexual and sexual ulva are called sporophte and gametophyte respectively?
asexual sporophyte ulva plants is called so, as it produces spores and sexual gametophyte ulva plant is so called as it produces gametes
What is the main function of a mature sporophyte?
A mature sporophyte produces the spores. Likewise a mature gametophyte produces the gametes. The life cycle of the plant is completed by the alternation of these two generations.
What is the role of gametangium in plants?
A gametopyte has haploid set of chromosomes whereas a sporophyte has diploid set of chromosomes. A gametophyte produces the gamets ( male & female) and a sporophyte produces spores in the sporangium. Germination of these spores results in the formation of gametophyte plants.
Is annulus gametophyte or sporophyte?
Well, all plants have both a sporophytic and gametophytic phase. For ferns, the dominant phase we often see are usually the sporophytes. Ferns have free-living gametophytes, but are often small and thus goes unnoticed.
How does the sporophyte generation of a plant differ from a gametophyte generation?
In most plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant. In fern, for example, the fern itself is the sporophyte. This organism produces spores that fall to the substrate below and grow into a separate organism called a gametophyte. The gametophyte produces sperm and eggs in order to produce a new sporophyte which grows out of the gametophyte's body, destroying it. It is important to note that the gametophyte is haploid and the sporophyte is dploid.

What generation in the plant life cycle produces gametes?
The sporophyte generation is the result of the fusion of gametes. :)
What is a gametophyte and sporophyte?
gametophyte: The gamete-bearing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations sporophyte: The spore-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations
What is prothallus?
The small, greenish heart-shaped structure or gametophyte (n-haploid) of a fern that produces the male and female gametes for fertilization and spore formation which leads to the development of the sporophyte generation--(2n-diploid) -->the plant you see above ground is the sporophyte generation.
Can flowering plants reproduce by spores?
Yes the spores are like seeds. They drop off of a fern and onto the ground and sooner or later they sprout and makes a new fern. Spores are not like seeds. They lack a seed coat, endosperm and preformed embryonic parts. In addition spores give rise to the gametophyte generation and seeds give rise to the sporophyte generation. Ferns and mosses do both reproduce by using spores BUT mosses have a reduced almost parasitic sporophyte generation which produces the spores. These spores will produces the gametophyte generation (the green leafy thing we see). The gametophyte produces the sex cells that fuse to make a zygote. This zygote then forms a new sporophyte. With ferns the sporophyte generation is more dominant than the gametophyte. The leafy structure we see is the sporophyte.

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.
