Are all seed plants heterosporous?
heterosporous means that male and female organs are different. One structure produces eggs and other produces sperm. If a plant has seeds, which contains the embryo, then that clearly means sexual fertilization and a male/female gametophyte had to be involved. In short, yes. All seed plants are hetrosporous by that logic.
How does the gametophyte generation of a plant differ from the sporophyte 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.
What is the difference between the male and female reproductive systems?
Depends on the animal, but in general male produces sperm, female produces eggs, and MAY hold fertilized eggs until they grow (but not always)
What is the female plant part which produces the eggs?
Ovule means "small egg". In seed plants, the ovule is the structure that gives rise to and contains the female reproductive cells. It consists of three parts: The integument(s) forming its outer layer(s), the nucellus (or megasporangium), and the megaspore-derived female gametophyte (or megagametophyte) in its center. The megagametophyte (also called embryo sac in flowering plants) produces an egg cell (or several egg cells in some groups) for fertilization.
What are the reproductive structures of genosperms?
Most Gymnosperms are diecious with the male and female reproductive organs on different plants. The male "flower" produces pollen and the female "flower" contains the ovary. Many female gymnosperms produce cones that house the fertilized eggs until the seeds are mature.

What is a gametophyte?
A gametophyte is an organism in the life cycle of a plant that produces haploid gametes. It is the sexual phase of the plant life cycle and is the first stage in the alternation of generations between the gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The gametophyte produces male and female gametes, which are haploid cells that fuse to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into the sporophyte generation, which produces haploid spores that divide to form the next generation of gametophytes.
The male reproductive structure of nonvascular plants is called?
The female gametophyte structure that produces eggs in nonvascular plants are called archegonia. The male structure that produces sperm are called antheridia. A gametophyte is the part of the plant that is responsible for creating gametes AKA sexual reproductive cell (sperm or egg). A nonvascular plant is a plant that isn't capable of transporting water and nutrients throughout itself very far because it lacks the proper vessels and veins for the transport. This causes these plants to be small in size so the plant doesn't have to transport the water and nutrients very far.
What is a form of a moss plant that produces gametes?
Moss must grow close together and must have water to complete their life cycle. Gametophyte stage is dominant in the moss's life cycle where the eggs and sperm are produced. Mosses produce two kinds of gametes.
Fraser firs are monecious plants What does mononecious mean?
Monoicous plants are those species that bear both sperm and eggs on the same gametophyte.
What female organ of the plant part that produces egg cells?
In plants, the female part that makes eggs is the pistil. Inside the pistil is the ovary, and inside the ovary is the ovule.
What is the function of the spore of gymnosperms?
The function of the spore in gymnosperms is to serve as a reproductive structure that can develop into a gametophyte. The spore undergoes mitotic division to produce a multicellular gametophyte, which then produces the gametes (sperm or eggs). The fusion of these gametes gives rise to the development of the next generation of gymnosperms.
Which of the following produces eggs and larvae?
female mosquitos lay the eggs.
What Produces and contain plants eggs?
the ovary
Do male salmon lay eggs or only female?
No, only the female of ANY animal produces eggs.
