What plants have a dominant gametophyte?
The sporophyte generation is dominant in ferns.
What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
Dominant sporophyte of angiosperms?
No. Only in bryophytes (mosses, hornworts, and liverworts) is the gametophyte dominant. In advanced plants, the sporophyte is dominant. The gametophyte in angiosperms is a tiny part buried w/in the flower. Hope this helps.
Which plants are the first to grow during primary succession?
mosses...
Is mould a non flowering plant?
There are 11 main phyla of non-flowering plants, including mosses and club mosses. Though some plants are called mosses (e.g. scotch moss), these flowering plants aren't true mosses.
What plants have a dominant gametophyte?
The sporophyte generation is dominant in ferns.
What generation is dominant in moss?
The Sporophyte is the dominant generation of the club moss, which is a Lycopodium. Also, club mosses are vascular plants, and the diploid generation is dominant for vascular plants.
What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
Dominant sporophyte of angiosperms?
No. Only in bryophytes (mosses, hornworts, and liverworts) is the gametophyte dominant. In advanced plants, the sporophyte is dominant. The gametophyte in angiosperms is a tiny part buried w/in the flower. Hope this helps.
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 plants and algae can be found in the polar ice regions?
In the Arctic there are many different plants like flowers, shrubs, bushes, and grass. But in Antarctica you will only find two plants they mainly live on the coast: 1) Deschampsia Antarctica 2) Colobanthus Quitensis
What is an example of bryophyta?
Bryophyte plants are non-vascular plants that live on land. Unlike all other land plants they lack lignin, which helps maintain cell structure. They reproduce with spores. Examples are mosses, liverworts and hornworts.
Is mosses a mechanical or chemical?
Mosses are nonvascular plants.
Where are vascular plants found?
In aquatic environments (oceans, lakes, rivers), algae are dominant over vascular plants; but vascular plants do exist in those places. There are also places on land where nonvascular plants -- mosses, liverworts, and hornworts -- are dominant over vascular plants: they tend to be very, very moist and/or lack enough soil for anything larger to get a foothold.
Are mosses considered plants?
because they are plants
What do ferns and mosses have instead of seeds?
Ferns are seedless vascular plants while mosses are just seedless.
Which plants are the first to grow during primary succession?
mosses...
