The first generation of mosses starts with germination of spores to develop into gametophyte. The male and female gametophytes produce anthridia and archegonia. Motile antherozoids are released from anthridia and make their way to archegonia through water. The egg inside archegonium is fertilized to form the zygote. The zygote develops into a sporophyte, which remain dependent on the gametophyte.

What generation is dominant in moss?
The Sporophyte is the dominant generation of the club moss, which is a Lycopodium. Also, club mosses are vascular plants, and the diploid generation is dominant for vascular plants.
How do mosses and club mosses differ?
Unlike true mosses, club mosses have vascular tissue.
How are club mosses different from true mosses?
Club mosses are vascular while bryophytes (true mosses) are nonvascular.
How do mosses meet their needs?
mosses meet their needs by mosses finding their needs
Do mosses have secondary growth?
No, mosses do not have secondary growth. Secondary growth takes place in vascular plants. Mosses are non-vascular.
Which generation is the photosynthetic generation?
gametophyte generation
What is the second generation produce in mosses?
Second generation produced in mosses is sporophyte on the gametophytic plant body.
What possesses a spore capsule in mosses?
In mosses, the photosynthetic cell possesses a spore capsule. A good example is the polytrichum which has a capsule with a sterile jacket.
What is dominent generation in the mosses?
Gametophyte
What plants have a dominant gametophyte?
The sporophyte generation is dominant in ferns.
What generation is dominant in moss?
The Sporophyte is the dominant generation of the club moss, which is a Lycopodium. Also, club mosses are vascular plants, and the diploid generation is dominant for vascular plants.
What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?
Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.
What is tracheopytes?
a tracheophyte is a vascular plant which is capable of conducting water, minerals and photosynthetic products through the plant. This includes conifers, gymnosperms, angiosperms, club mosses and ferns.
What two characteristics are useful for supporting the photosynthetic mode of energy generation found in euglenids?
An eyespot (or photoreceptor) and a flagellum.
How do mosses and club mosses differ?
Unlike true mosses, club mosses have vascular tissue.
How are club mosses different from true mosses?
Club mosses are vascular while bryophytes (true mosses) are nonvascular.
Amoeba photosynthetic or not?
not photosynthetic
