Chondrus crispus( Irish moss) undergoes an alternation of generation life cycle common in many species of algae . There are two distinct stages: the sexual haploid gametophyte stage and the asexual diploid sporophyte stage. In addition there is a third stage- the carposporophyte, which is formed on the female gametophyte after fertilization. The male and female gametophytes produce gametes which fuse to form a diploid carposporophyte, which forms carpospores, which develops into the sporophyte. The sporophyte then undergoes meiosis to produce haploid tetraspores (which can be male or female) that develop into gametophytes. The three stages (male, female and sporophyte) are difficult to distinguish when they are not fertile; however, the gametophytes often show a blue iridescence

What is cleistocarpic moss?
A cleistocarpous (rather than a cleistocarpic) moss is a moss whose capsules do not open to release the included spores. Only after decay of the moss and its capsules are the spores dispersed (over, of course, a relatively short distance). Phascum cuspidatum (Toothed phascum moss) is a well known example. HdB
