New fern plants grow out of spores into gametophytes. There are male and female gametophytes that produce gametes respectively. Because ferns are pteridophyta, they lack sporopollenin to provide transportation of sperm in the absence of water. In the presence of water, the antheridia of the gametophytes release sperm, which travel through the water and swim into the archegonia of other gametophytes, where the egg and sperm fuse together to form a zygote. This zygote grows into a sporophyte, which is what you typically see and recognize as a fern.
What else can I help you with?
Ferns are non flowering plants that do not make seeds What do they make?
Ferns produce spores instead of seeds for reproduction. Spores are microscopic structures that can germinate to form new fern plants.
Is bird nest fern flowering?
Bird's nest ferns do not produce flowers in the common way that other plants do. Instead, they reproduce through spores that typically form on the underside of the fronds. These spores can eventually develop into new fern plants.
How are seeds of an apple and spores of the fern slimilar?
they have seeds
What type of spores are produce in the fern plant?
The fern produce spores called sori(sorus) on the lower surfaces of pinna(leaflets)
What are tiny dots found on the underside of the bird's nest fern?
The tiny dots found on the underside of the bird's nest fern are the fern's spores. These spores are a part of the fern's reproductive process and will eventually mature into new fern plants.
How do plants form new plants?
plants form new plants by pollination of each other
How many silver fern plants are in new zealand?
There are many thousands of endemic plants in New Zealand - probably in excess of 10 000.
What is a plant like a fern that does not produce seeds?
A plant like a fern that does not produce seeds is known as a fern. Ferns reproduce through spores instead of seeds. Spores are released from the underside of the fronds and develop into new fern plants.
Are fern fossils considered animals?
Fern fossils come from ferns. Ferns are plants, not animals. Hence, fern fossils are plants, not animals.
What are the bumps on a fern for?
Aha! THIS question is what got me intrested in botany in the 1st place. Okay, what I THINK you're refering to is the orangey "bumps" on the underside of a fern's leaf. Unlike most plants, ferns do NOT reproduce with seed. Instead, they use SPORES, like fungi. (But they're not fungi) ANSWER: The "bumps" on a fern are spores, the reproductive cell that they use in place of seeds. See related link:
What is a tall plants called?
fern
Is a fern reproduces through spores a declarative?
Yes, a fern reproduces through spores. Sporangia on the underside of the fronds release spores that develop into gametophytes, eventually leading to the production of new fern plants.
