What are the to stages of moss life cycle called?
The two stages of a moss life cycle are the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. The gametophyte is the dominant and photosynthetic stage, while the sporophyte is short-lived and dependent on the gametophyte for nutrients.
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
What does it mean to say that a life cycle is dominated by the gametophyte versus the sporophyte stage?
When a life cycle is dominated by the gametophyte stage, it means that the plant spends most of its life as a haploid gametophyte producing gametes. Conversely, when a life cycle is dominated by the sporophyte stage, the plant spends most of its life as a diploid sporophyte producing spores.
In which group of plants are both the sporophyte and gametophyte free- living?
In seedless vascular plants, such as ferns, both the sporophyte and gametophyte stages are free-living. The sporophyte is the dominant stage, while the gametophyte is usually a small, independent structure that produces gametes.
Does gametophyte generation depends on sporophyte generation in ferns?
Yes, in ferns, the sporophyte generation is dominant and produces spores that give rise to the gametophyte generation. The gametophyte generation is a smaller, independent stage that produces gametes (sperm and egg) which fuse during fertilization to form the sporophyte generation.
In mosses why is the sporophyte stage dependent on the gametophyte stage?
in mosses why is the sporophyte stage dependent on the gametophyte stage
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.
Is the gametophyte stage the dominant stage in a gymnosperms life cycle?
No, the sporophyte stage is the dominant stage in the gymnosperm life cycle. The gametophyte stage is reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition and support.
What is the dominant stage of the fern life cycle what is the relationship of the fern gametophyte and sporophyte?
in the life cycle of a fern, the dominant and recognizable stage is the diploid sporophyte. the the younger sporophyte grows from the gametophyte.
Is it true that the gametophyte stage is the dominant stage in a gymnosperm's lifecycle?
No, in gymnosperms, the sporophyte stage is the dominant stage of the life cycle. The gametophyte stage is reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition and support.
What are the to stages of moss life cycle called?
The two stages of a moss life cycle are the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. The gametophyte is the dominant and photosynthetic stage, while the sporophyte is short-lived and dependent on the gametophyte for nutrients.
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.
How are the fern sporophyte and gametophyte stage the same?
In reference to the sporophyte and gametophyte, are the stages of the plant's life cycle thus being the same.
Why is the sporophyte stage in mosses is dependent on the gametophyte stage?
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
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
