What stage is dominant in ferns?
the Sporophyte generation
Where does meiosis occur in seedless plants?
Meiosis typically occurs in the specialized structures called sporangia or sporophylls in seedless plants. These structures are found on the sporophyte generation of the plant, where meiosis takes place to produce spores.
Gametophyte and sporophyte?
Gametophyte-haploid Sporophyte-diploid
What does the sporophyte grow out of?
In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
How have the sporophyte and gametophyte changed as plants have evolved?
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.
What are the reproductive structures of bryophytes called?
the male structures are called antheridium and female archegonium
What is a example of sporophyte?
Three examples of a sporophyte are Polypodium, mosses, and a pine tree.
What generation is dominant in both gymnosperms and angiosperms?
gymnosperm- sporophyte angiosperm- sporophyte
In a moss the gametophyte stage depends on the sporophyte stage for nutrients.?
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
Why is the seta and capsule known as the sporophyte generation?
The cap like structure on the capsule of the sporophyte generation in a bryophyte is the operculum. The structure that covers the capsule of the sporophyte in bryophytes is calyptra.
Does gametophyte generation depends on sporophyte generation in ferns?
It does not depending on sporophytes generation
In flowering plants the sporophyte does what?
Flowering plants do not have a sporophyte. They have antheridium and archegonium to produce their gametes. Sporophyte is found in ferns, mosses, club mosses, lycophytes, etc but not in flowering plants. Flowering plants produces pollen while a sporophyte produces spores
