What is a gametophyte and sporophyte?
gametophyte: The gamete-bearing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations sporophyte: The spore-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations
How have the sporophyte and gametophyte changed as plants have evolved?
The gametophyte has become smaller, and the sporophyte has become larger. To begin with main plant body was gametophytic and sporophyte was dependent on it. Later on, as the evolution progressed, both gametophyte and sporophyte became independent and ultimatly gametophyte became dependent on sporophyte.
What generation in the plant life cycle produces gametes?
The sporophyte generation is the result of the fusion of gametes. :)
Life cycle of cycas?
Cycas plant has alternation of gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The main plant body is sporophyte and it bears the male cone and megasporophylls. The male and female gamentes are produced in the male cone and megasporophyll respectively. After pollination and fertilization of ovules the seeds are produced on megasporophylls. These seeds on maturity disperse and germinate to produce a new sporophyte. Male and female cycas plants grow separately.
What are the two alternating phases of a plants life cycle?
The gametophyte and the sporophyte stages of a plant alternate to complete the life cycle.
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.
What is a gametophyte and sporophyte?
gametophyte: The gamete-bearing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations sporophyte: The spore-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations
What are the two major stages of a plant life-cycle?
The Sporophyte stage and the gametophyte stage
What is the correct order in which these structure form during the plant reproduction process?
Plants have two phases during reproduction: sporophyte and gametophyte. The sporophyte is doploid and the gametophyte is haploid. Plants cycle between these seasonally.
How have the sporophyte and gametophyte changed as plants have evolved?
The gametophyte has become smaller, and the sporophyte has become larger. To begin with main plant body was gametophytic and sporophyte was dependent on it. Later on, as the evolution progressed, both gametophyte and sporophyte became independent and ultimatly gametophyte became dependent on sporophyte.
What generation in the plant life cycle produces gametes?
The sporophyte generation is the result of the fusion of gametes. :)
What are sporophyte and gametophyte?
Two different forms a plant can have.
What is the main function of a mature sporophyte?
A mature sporophyte produces the spores. Likewise a mature gametophyte produces the gametes. The life cycle of the plant is completed by the alternation of these two generations.
What are two major stages of a plant life cycle?
The Sporophyte stage and the gametophyte stage
How does the sporophyte generation of a plant differ from a gametophyte generation?
In most plants, the sporophyte generation is dominant. In fern, for example, the fern itself is the sporophyte. This organism produces spores that fall to the substrate below and grow into a separate organism called a gametophyte. The gametophyte produces sperm and eggs in order to produce a new sporophyte which grows out of the gametophyte's body, destroying it. It is important to note that the gametophyte is haploid and the sporophyte is dploid.
Life cycle of cycas?
Cycas plant has alternation of gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The main plant body is sporophyte and it bears the male cone and megasporophylls. The male and female gamentes are produced in the male cone and megasporophyll respectively. After pollination and fertilization of ovules the seeds are produced on megasporophylls. These seeds on maturity disperse and germinate to produce a new sporophyte. Male and female cycas plants grow separately.
Which group of plant are both the sporophyte and gametophyte free-living?
ferns
