Is the sporophyte stage of a moss much larger than the gametophyte stage?
SasukeAT
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.

Why are mosses usually found in moist areas?
Moss is a plant, and that certain species of moss you are referring to needs lots of water.
In a moss the gametophyte stage depends on the sporophyte stage for nutrients.?
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
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 does the sporophyte grow out of?
In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
Are the spores produced by the moss sporophyte formed by meiosis or mitosis?
The Gametophyte stage
When does the sporophyte stalk of a moss begin to grow?
When the gametophyte dies
What does the gametophyte stage of a moss or fern life cycle produce?
Gametes in the sex organs
Is the gametophyte generation haploid or diploid?
yes, the gametophyte generation of a moss is haploid. While the sporophyte generation of a moss is diploid.
The green leafy moss plant is part of what moss cycle?
The gametophyte stage.
What is the dominant phase of the bryophyte life cycle?
Bryophytes or Moss plants life cycle goes with two stages. The two stages are the haploid (gametophyte) and the diploid (sporophyte) which is the dominant stage.
What is the leafy moss plant is part of what?
The gametophyte stage.
Is a moss gametophyte photogenic?
Yes moss plant is predominantly gametophyte. it bears sporophytic capsule at a later stage of its growth and is photogenic.
How does Irish moss reproduce?
Chondrus crispus( Irish moss) undergoes an alternation of generation life cycle common in many species of algae . There are two distinct stages: the sexual haploid gametophyte stage and the asexual diploid sporophyte stage. In addition there is a third stage- the carposporophyte, which is formed on the female gametophyte after fertilization. The male and female gametophytes produce gametes which fuse to form a diploid carposporophyte, which forms carpospores, which develops into the sporophyte. The sporophyte then undergoes meiosis to produce haploid tetraspores (which can be male or female) that develop into gametophytes. The three stages (male, female and sporophyte) are difficult to distinguish when they are not fertile; however, the gametophytes often show a blue iridescence
