A gametophyte is the haploid, multicellular phase of plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations, with each of its cells containing only a single set of chromosomes.
A gamete is a sex cell used to transfer half (haploid) of the genetic material of its corresponding producer to a sex cell of the producers opposite sex.
What else can I help you with?
What are two stages that seedless plants have in their life cycle?
Gametophytic stage & Sporophytic stage
How are mosses from ferns?
Ferns have vascular tissues in the form of xylem and phloem and gametophytic stage dependent on the sporophytic plant body; mosses are lacking xylem & phloem and have sporophytic stage dependent on the gametophytic plant body in the form of capsules.
What are the two dominant life stages of a plant?
The sporophyte stage and the gameotophyte stage
What are the characteristics of liverwort?
Liverworts belong to Bryophyta having thalloid plant body dominated by gametophytic stage, supported by rhizoides and scales.
What is the dominant stage of the life cycle in primitive plants?
The dominant stage of the life cycle in primitive plants, such as mosses and liverworts, is the gametophyte stage. This is where the plant produces gametes for sexual reproduction. The sporophyte stage is smaller and dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition.
What is created by the each mitosis and meiosis processes?
Mitosis results in the formation of more somatic cells and meiosis creates haploid cells for gametophytic stage
What is created by each of the processes mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis results in the formation of more somatic cells and meiosis creates haploid cells for gametophytic stage
One clear evolutionary trend in the vascular plants is the increasing dominance of what life cycle stage?
The sporophyte generation has shown increasing dominance in vascular plants. This shift is evident in the reduction of the gametophyte generation and the increasing complexity and size of the sporophyte generation over evolutionary time.
The phase in which gametes are formed?
gametophyte It is called gametophytic phase
What is the dominate phase of the moss life cycle?
The dominant phase of the moss life cycle is the gametophyte stage. This is where the plant produces gametes for sexual reproduction, and it is the most visible phase of the life cycle. The sporophyte stage is much shorter and less conspicuous in mosses.
What is the term for male and female sex organs which arise from the same tissue?
Gametophytic tissue
What is a unique feature of ferns in comparison with angiosperms?
Ferns lack the flowers or seeds of the angiosperms. Instead they reproduce by forming spores in two phases, the sporophytic and a gametophytic phase. The second, gametophytic, phase is actually a free-living organism, not a seed.
