Dissemination occurs in lower plants during the sporophyte generation in ferns. This would happen then so the spores could blow away.
i swear i hate this question
The dominant generation in gymnosperms is the sporophyte generation, while in angiosperms it is also the sporophyte generation. The sporophyte generation produces the structures that we commonly recognize as trees, shrubs, and flowers in plants.
Sporophyte is the dominant generation.
The sporophyte generation is the most obvious in seed plants. This generation is the dominant phase and is the one that is most readily visible in the form of the mature plant.
sporophyte and gametophye. since plants have alternation of generation, both are multicellular (haploid and diploid)
The gametophyte generation of fern plants is the haploid generation. It produces gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis. When the gametes fuse during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote that develops into the sporophyte generation.
The sporophyte generation is dominant in ferns.
In a seed, it is the sporophyte embryo that is present. The sporophyte is the diploid generation that develops from the fertilization of gametes, while the gametophyte generation is typically reduced and dependent on the sporophyte in seed plants. Thus, the seed contains the developing sporophyte embryo, which will grow into the mature plant.
spore producing plant generation. The dominant generation in pteridophytes and higher plants and alternates with the gametophyte generation.
Yes, sporophytes are the dominant generation in seed plants. In these plants, the sporophyte is the larger, more complex structure that carries out photosynthesis and is responsible for reproduction. The gametophyte generation is reduced and often dependent on the sporophyte for nutrients and protection. This shift to a dominant sporophyte is a key characteristic of seed plants, distinguishing them from other plant groups like mosses, where the gametophyte is more prominent.
In lower plants gametophytic generation was dominant and as the evolution progressed the gametophytic generation became progressively reduced and ultimately became dependent on sporophytic generation. Thus as the evolution progressed sporophyte become more dominant.
No, gametophytes of seed plants are usually very small and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrients. They are reduced in size compared to the sporophyte generation.
