What else can I help you with?
What are two parts of a sporophyte fern and frond?
Either a Spore or Sori The Rhizome is an underground stem that they grow from. Hope I helped!
What is the dominant stage of the fern life cycle what is the relationship of the fern gametophyte and sporophyte?
in the life cycle of a fern, the dominant and recognizable stage is the diploid sporophyte. the the younger sporophyte grows from the gametophyte.
Are the cells of fern that you see haploid or diploid?
The cells of a fern plant that you see are diploid. Ferns have a lifecycle which alternates between a diploid sporophyte generation and a haploid gametophyte generation. The visible fern plant is the diploid sporophyte generation.
Explain the stages in the life cycle of a fern?
A fern's life cycle alternates between two distinct stages: the sporophyte and gametophyte. The sporophyte stage is the dominant phase, where it produces spores through meiosis. These spores germinate into tiny gametophytes, which produce eggs and sperm. Fertilization of the egg by the sperm results in a new sporophyte plant.
The fiddlehead is a that unfolds into a?
A Fiddlehead is a haploid sporophyte that unfolds into a fern frond.
Describe the dominant stage in the life cycle of a fern?
Diploid Sporophyte
Which stage in the alternation of generations life cycle would fern represent?
The Sporophyte life cycle is the dominant stage in Ferns (vascular non-seed plants)
How are the fern sporophyte and gametophyte stage the same?
In reference to the sporophyte and gametophyte, are the stages of the plant's life cycle thus being the same.
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.
Is the fern prothallus suited to land environment as much as the sporophyte is?
The fern prothallus, which is the gametophyte stage of a fern, is not as well-suited to a terrestrial environment as the sporophyte stage. The prothallus is small, typically requires moist conditions for fertilization, and is more vulnerable to desiccation. In contrast, the sporophyte is larger and more robust, with a well-developed vascular system that allows it to thrive in a wider range of terrestrial habitats. Thus, while both stages are vital to the fern's life cycle, the sporophyte is better adapted to land environments.
Does the gametophyte of ferns depends on sporophyte generation?
The sporophyte of a fern, destined to grow to be magnitudes larger than the prothallium, destroys the prothallium as it grows.
Which structure is part of a sphagum spp reproduction but not part of the fern reproduction?
sporophyte
