How do spores structurally different from seeds?

1. Spores are single celled and seeds are multicelled 2. A spore germinates to form a gametophyte, whereas a seed germinates to form a sporophyte 3. Spores can hardly survive for longer period during adverse conitions, but seeds can do 4. Spores are produced in the sporangium; seeds are produced inside the fruit


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 is sporophy?

Sporophyte is the diploid (2n) stage of the plant life cycle. It is the multicellular spore-producing organism that develops from the zygote of a fertilized egg. The sporophyte is typically the primary photosynthetic form of the plant and is responsible for the production of spores. It is the stage of the plant that produces the spore-bearing structures such as the antheridia and archegonia which in turn produce the haploid gametes that are necessary for sexual reproduction.The sporophyte stage of the plant life cycle includes the following main components:Cellular growth and developmentProduction of haploid gametesSpore formationGrowth and maturation of sporophyte structuresThe sporophyte stage of the plant life cycle typically dominates the life cycle of most plants and is responsible for the growth and development of the plant. It is the main photosynthetic form of the plant and is responsible for producing the haploid gametes that are necessary for sexual reproduction.

Explain the stage in the life cycle of fern?

A spore grows into a heart shaped gametophyte. The gametophytes produces sex cells that unite to form a zygote. The zygote grows into a spore producing sporophyte.


Is germinates an adjective?

No. Germinates is a form of the verb. The form "germinated" may be used as an adjective describing seeds or spores.

How do moss and ferns differ?

Ferns are pteridophytes. Mosses are bryophytes. Mosses have rhizoids, simple root like structures, ferns have rhizomes or underground stems. Both ferns and mosses reproduce via spores, produced from the sporophyte and gametes from the gametophyte. Ferns; however, are sporophyte dominant and mosses are gametophyte dominant. The main, most noticeable form of the moss is the gametophyte, a haploid structure. The less obvious moss sporophyte is simply a stalk called a seta and spore capsule. On the other hand the most noticeable part of the fern is the sporophyte, which may be huge in the case of tree ferns like Dicksonia and Alsophila/Cyathea. The very much less conspicuous part of a fern life cycle is the nondominant gametophyte, which takes the form of a cardoid prothallus and produces gametes (sperm cells and egg cells) in archegonia and antheridia. Spores are produced in the spore capsules of mosses. In ferns, whole clusters of spore capsules called sporangia are found huddled in structures called sori (singular sorus) on the underside of the fern fronds. Mosses do not have true leaves. The leaf like structures are haploid and unicellularly thick. Ferns have multicellular, diploid fronds.
