The sporophyte is dominant.
The sporophyte generation is dominant in ferns.
In plants, what is the diploid form called?
asexual sporophyte ulva plants is called so, as it produces spores and sexual gametophyte ulva plant is so called as it produces gametes
No. Only in bryophytes (mosses, hornworts, and liverworts) is the gametophyte dominant. In advanced plants, the sporophyte is dominant. The gametophyte in angiosperms is a tiny part buried w/in the flower. Hope this helps.
The gametophyte has become smaller, and the sporophyte has become larger. To begin with main plant body was gametophytic and sporophyte was dependent on it. Later on, as the evolution progressed, both gametophyte and sporophyte became independent and ultimatly gametophyte became dependent on sporophyte.
The gametophyte of moss is the dominant structure
Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
Embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants. Situated in the flower. It is dependent on the sporophyte (what we call plant) for nutrition. here the gametophyte is reduced and sporophyte is dominant.In lower plants the female gametophyte is prominent and independent where it can photosynthesize. Usually it is called as a thallus. Here the sporophyte is reduced and the gametophyte is dominant.
Basically, plants have two stages in their life cycle, they can appear as a gametophyte or a sporophyte.
Both the sporophyte and gametophyte are free-living and homomorphic, and belong to Cladophora.
The sporophyte is dominant.
diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte
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.
