the underside of the gametophyte
Is the sporophyte stage of a moss much larger than the gametophyte stage?
Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
What is tha name given to the gametophyte generation in ferns?
Prothallium is the name given to the gametophyte generation in ferns. Another term given to these species of ferns is prothallus.
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.
Compare and contrast the nutritional needs of the gametophyte and the sporophyte of mosses and spore-bearing vascular plants and seed-bearing vascular plants?
The gametophyte of moss is the dominant structure
What is the dominant stage of liverworts?
The answer is gametophyte.
What does moss ferns and liverwort have in common?
They both: use photosynthesis do not produce seeds or flowers use spores to reproduce have a dominant gametophyte stage
In mosses why is the sporophyte stage dependent on the gametophyte stage?
in mosses why is the sporophyte stage dependent on the gametophyte stage
Which kingdom contains organisms that have a saprophyte and gametophyte stage?
Many algae contain organisms that have a sporophyte and a gametophyte stage. This is called metagenesis of alternation of generations and is a characteristic of Cladophora.
