Is a hornwort plant a angiosperms or a gymnosperm plant?
A hornwort is a bryophyte, which is a non-vascular plant.
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.
How have the sporophyte and gametophyte changed as plants have evolved?
The gametophyte has become smaller, and the sporophyte has become larger. To begin with main plant body was gametophytic and sporophyte was dependent on it. Later on, as the evolution progressed, both gametophyte and sporophyte became independent and ultimatly gametophyte became dependent on sporophyte.
Does gametophyte generation depends on sporophyte generation in ferns?
It does not depending on sporophytes generation
Is sporophyte photosynthetic?
Yes, sporophyte is photosynthetic in the immature stage when the sporophyte is still green and have photosynthising cells still in it. It can need up to half its nutrients from the photosynthesis capsule for later in its life.
Is a hornwort a plant or animal?
