What are the mobile sexual reproductive part of all seedless plants?

The mobile sexual reproductive parts of seedless plants are sperm cells. These sperm cells are typically flagellated, allowing them to swim through water to reach the egg for fertilization. Seedless plants rely on water for the transfer of sperm to the egg, unlike seed plants which have pollen to transport sperm to the egg.

What are the mobile reproductive parts of all nonvascular seedless plants?

In nonvascular seedless plants, such as mosses and liverworts, the mobile reproductive parts are typically sperm cells. These sperm cells are released from specialized structures called antheridia and require water for mobility to reach the egg cells for fertilization.


Why must the male provide an excess of gametes while the female does not?

In most species, males produce a larger number of gametes (sperm) because they are smaller and more mobile compared to eggs. This higher number of sperm increases the chances of successful fertilization as sperm must travel to the egg and compete with other sperm for fertilization. Females, on the other hand, invest more energy in producing larger, nutrient-rich eggs that are less mobile and need protection, hence the lesser quantity.


Hair-like process on a sperm cell that makes it motile?

The hair-like process on a sperm cell that makes it motile is called a flagellum. It functions by propelling the sperm cell forward through fluid environments, such as the female reproductive tract, allowing it to reach the egg for fertilization.


How does the sperm go about keeping the egg fertilized?

Sperm undergo a process called capacitation where they become more mobile and gain the ability to penetrate the egg. Once capacitated, sperm approach the egg and release enzymes that help break down the egg's outer layer, allowing a single sperm to penetrate and fertilize it. After fertilization, the egg undergoes changes that prevent other sperm from entering.


If sperm were formed solely by mitosis?

This would cause chromosomal abnormalities, as sperm are haploid cells and body cells are diploid cells. The new cell would have 1.5 times the normal amount.


What are the male and female gametes?

The male gamete is the sperm cell, which is small and mobile, allowing it to fertilize the female gamete. The female gamete is the egg cell, also known as the ova, which is larger and contains nutrients to support early development of the embryo. When fertilization occurs, the sperm and egg combine to form a zygote, which develops into a new individual.


Would a lot of discharge stop the sperm from causing you to get pregnant?

Depending on what kind of discharge. If the discharge is clear, slippery, and stretches, (resembling egg whites) this is your most fertile time of the month. You have this kind of discharge right at and during ovulation. This is your sperm friendly mucous, it helps the sperm be more mobile and gives it a healthier environment letting it live longer and also enter your cervix. If it is cloudy or white this is not as " sperm friendly".

the nucleus is where DNA is stored and the flagellum is another major part commonly linked to the sperm cell.


What purpose do the secretions from the various glands serve in the reproductive process?

In males, there are 3 different sets of glands involved. The testes create sperm cells. The bulbourethral glands and the prostate glands add extra fluids to nourish the sperm cells and make them more mobile.
