Sporophyte generation
In plants, what is the diploid form called?
The typical "fern" plant the, sporophyte, is diploid.
The Sporophyte life cycle is the dominant stage in Ferns (vascular non-seed plants)
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)
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.
Sporophyte generation
In plants, what is the diploid form called?
Gametophyte-haploid Sporophyte-diploid
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
diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte
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.
The typical "fern" plant the, sporophyte, is diploid.
A sporophyte is the diploid form and a gametophyte is haploid form.
The Sporophyte life cycle is the dominant stage in Ferns (vascular non-seed plants)
Sporophyte is the phase in which diploid plant body gradually grows and produces spores through a process called meiosis. It is a dominant phase.
