What is the diploid phase of a plant that produces spores?

The diploid form in a plant's life cycle is called the sporophyte. Land plants have a complex life cycle that involves an alternation of generations between a haploid gametophyte and a diploid sporophyte.

Gametophyte and sporophyte?

Gametophyte-haploid Sporophyte-diploid


What is the dominant generation of Bryophytes?

In vascular plants, the principal generation phase is the sporophyte, which is usually diploid with two sets of chromosomes per cell. By contrast, the principal generation phase in non-vascular plants is usually the gametophyte, which is haploid with one set of chromosomes per cell.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_plants


The life cycle of nonvascular plants includes an alternation of generations between a?

diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte


What is alternation of genes?

A reproductive cycle in which a haploid (n) phase (the gametophyte), gives rise to gametes, which after fusion to form a zygote, germinate to produce a diploid (2n) phase (the sporophyte). Spores produced by meiotic division from the sporophyte give rise to new gametophytes, completing the cycle.


Are the cells of fern that you see haploid or diploid?

What is the plant diploid form called?

A sporophyte is the diploid form and a gametophyte is haploid form.


Which stage in the alternation of generations life cycle would fern represent?

The Sporophyte life cycle is the dominant stage in Ferns (vascular non-seed plants)


Where are sporophylls found?

Sporophyte is the phase in which diploid plant body gradually grows and produces spores through a process called meiosis. It is a dominant phase.


What are the 5 kingdoms characteristics?

Plants are 1) Eukaryotic, 2) Photosynthetic, 3) Multicellular, 4) Sexually reproducing, and 5) their Life History involves an alternation of a haploid phase (Gametophyte) with a diploid phase (Sporophyte)
