What is a sporophyte?
The diploid generation in the life cycle of a plant, and that produces haploid spores by meiosis. A diploid form of a plant
What is the diploid phase of a plant that produces spores?
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.
In the life cycle of a plant what is the haploid phase that produces gametes by mitosis?
The haploid phase that produces gametes by mitosis in the life cycle of a plant is the gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis, which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote that develops into a new sporophyte plant.
Is the gametophyte generation haploid or diploid?
yes, the gametophyte generation of a moss is haploid. While the sporophyte generation of a moss is diploid.
What are the two stages of plant life?
Plants have what is called an alternation of generations in their life cycle. The two stages are called the sporophyte generation and the gametophyte generation. The sporophyte generation is diploid (has pairs of chromosomes). It produces spores by meiosis (reduction division), so the spores are haploid (contain only one chromosome from each pair). The spores divide by mitosis to produce a multicellular, haploid gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes (by mitosis) which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. This then develops into the sporophyte, completing the life cycle. The plants which we call mosses and ferns are the gametophyte generations. However conifers and flowering plants are the sporophyte generation of their life cycle. This is much easier to understand if you see a diagram.

Are the cells of fern that you see haploid or diploid?
The cells of a fern plant that you see are diploid. Ferns have a lifecycle which alternates between a diploid sporophyte generation and a haploid gametophyte generation. The visible fern plant is the diploid sporophyte generation.
Is a pine tree diploid or haploid plant?
A pine tree is a diploid plant. In the life cycle of a pine tree, the sporophyte generation, which is the dominant form, is diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes. It produces haploid spores through meiosis, which develop into the gametophyte generation, but the mature pine tree itself remains diploid.
What are the two stage of the plant life cycle?
sporophyte and gametophye. since plants have alternation of generation, both are multicellular (haploid and diploid)
What does atternation of generation mean?
It is a type of life cycle found in some algae, fungi, and all plants where an organism alternates between a haploid (n) gametophyte generation and a diploid (2n) sporophyte generation. A diploid plant (sporophyte) produces, by meiosis, a spore that gives rise to a multicellular, haploid pollen grain (gametophyte). It once was called hydrogen power. In more simple terms, it is a life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, and a multicellular haploid form.
What is the diploid phase of a plant that produces spores?
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.
Is the gametophyte generation haploid or diploid?
yes, the gametophyte generation of a moss is haploid. While the sporophyte generation of a moss is diploid.
In the life cycle of a plant what is the haploid phase that produces gametes by mitosis?
The haploid phase that produces gametes by mitosis in the life cycle of a plant is the gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis, which fuse during fertilization to form a diploid zygote that develops into a new sporophyte plant.
What are two major stages of a plant life cycle?
The Sporophyte stage and the gametophyte stage
In the plant life cycle meiosis occurs during the production of?
In the plant life cycle, meiosis occurs during the production of spores in the sporophyte generation. This process reduces the chromosome number by half, leading to the formation of haploid spores, which then develop into the gametophyte generation. The gametophyte produces gametes through mitosis, completing the cycle when fertilization occurs and forms a new diploid sporophyte.
What is alternation of generation?
