Is a hornwort plant a angiosperms or a gymnosperm plant?

A hornwort plant is neither an angiosperm nor a gymnosperm. It is a non-vascular plant belonging to the division Anthocerotophyta, which is separate from both angiosperms and gymnosperms.


Which generation is dominant in ferns: the sporophyte or the gametophyte?

In ferns, the dominant generation is the sporophyte.


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.


Does gametophyte generation depends on sporophyte generation in ferns?

Yes, in ferns, the sporophyte generation is dominant and produces spores that give rise to the gametophyte generation. The gametophyte generation is a smaller, independent stage that produces gametes (sperm and egg) which fuse during fertilization to form the sporophyte generation.


How does a moss sporophyte acquire nutrients in its environment?

A moss sporophyte acquires nutrients through its connection to the gametophyte, which provides it with water and nutrients through a structure called the seta. This allows the sporophyte to grow and develop in its environment.

Is blade grass sporophyte or gametophyte?

Blade grass, like other flowering plants, primarily exists in the sporophyte stage of its life cycle. The sporophyte is the dominant phase, characterized by the production of seeds and flowers. The gametophyte stage is reduced and typically occurs within the reproductive structures of the sporophyte. Thus, blade grass is predominantly a sporophyte.

What generation is dominant in both gymnosperms and angiosperms?

The dominant generation in gymnosperms is the sporophyte generation, while in angiosperms it is also the sporophyte generation. The sporophyte generation produces the structures that we commonly recognize as trees, shrubs, and flowers in plants.


What does the sporophyte grow out of?

In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
