Describe isomorphic alternation of generation and heteromorphic alternation of generation?
similarities of heteromorphic and isomorphic generation
What is heteromorphic alteration of generation?
why you fool british have founded them
The type of life cycle seen in plants is called?
alternation of generation
What is Isomorphic alternation of generation?
meiosis and mitosis
What is the significance of alternation of generation?
alternation of generation is very important in plants because it results into the formation of a variety of new organisms... it is also important because it provides such organisms which have more chances of survival...
What are the two stage of the plant life cycle?
sporophyte and gametophye. since plants have alternation of generation, both are multicellular (haploid and diploid)
Which mutation could be passed on to generation?
a chromosomal alternation during gamete formation
What is metagenesis in coelentrates?
The phenomenon in which one generation of certain plants and animals reproduces asexually, followed by a sexually reproducing generation. Also known as alternation of generations.
What is the difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes?
The main difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes is that bryophytes are non-vascular plants whereas tracheophytes are vascular plants. Both of them have heteromorphic alternation of generation that means the two generations gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically as well as cytologically different. in bryophytes gametophyte generation is more prominent in which male and female gametes fuse to each other to form zygote which develops into well protected embryo, while in tracheophytes, sporophytes generation is more dominant and gametophyte generation is very small and inconspicuous.
What is the name given to the life cycle of plants which includes a sporophyte generation and a gametophyte generation?
Plants exhibit alternation of generations that includes both diploid and haploid multicellular stages.The multicellular diploid stage is called the sporophyte and haploid stage is called gametophyte.
What is the significance of alternation of generations?
alternation of generation is very important in plants because it results into the formation of a variety of new organisms... it is also important because it provides such organisms which have more chances of survival...
What types of algae show a distinct alternation of generations?
Some types of algae that show a distinct alternation of generations are members of the green algae group, such as Ulva and Spirogyra. These algae have a haploid gametophyte generation and a diploid sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation produces haploid gametes that fuse to form a diploid zygote, which develops into the sporophyte generation that produces haploid spores.
