Ferns have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte. As for moss, it depends on the type. If referring to mosses under the phylum Bryophyta (these are the nonvascular mosses) they have a dominant gametophyte. If referring to mosses under seedless vascular category, such as club mosses in the phylum Lycophyta, these plants have a dominant sporophyte and a reduced gametophyte.
What else can I help you with?
What is part of a bryophyte sporophyte?
Either a Spore or Sori The Rhizome is an underground stem that they grow from. Hope I helped!
What does orange moss mean?
Orange moss is a harmless moss that resides on trees. It is the color orange! You can even use it in cooking.
Is a Spanish moss producer?
Yes, it is a producer, all moss are producers!_/\_*0*_
What are tiny green plants that look like a green carpet?
ANSWER:Algae
Why are mosses usually found in moist areas?
Moss is a plant, and that certain species of moss you are referring to needs lots of water.
What are the to stages of moss life cycle called?
The two stages of a moss life cycle are the gametophyte stage and the sporophyte stage. The gametophyte is the dominant and photosynthetic stage, while the sporophyte is short-lived and dependent on the gametophyte for nutrients.
In a moss the gametophyte stage depends on the sporophyte stage for nutrients.?
The sporophyte stage depends on the gameophytestage because the gameophyte stage has a photosynthic stageand because the sporophyte stage lives shortly.
The green leafy moss plant is part of what moss cycle?
The green leafy moss plant is part of the gametophyte phase of the moss life cycle. Mosses alternate between a gametophyte stage (producing male and female gametes) and a sporophyte stage (producing spores).
What does the sporophyte grow out of?
In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
What does the gametophyte stage of a moss or fern life cycle produce?
The gametophyte stage of a moss or fern life cycle produces gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis. These gametes combine during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which develops into the sporophyte stage.
When does the sporophyte stalk of a moss begin to grow?
When the gametophyte dies
What portion of the moss life cycle is free-living?
The gametophyte phase of the moss life cycle is the free-living stage, where the plant is independent and produces male and female gametes. The sporophyte phase relies on the gametophyte for nutrition and support.
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 is unusual about the reproductive cycle of a moss?
The unusual part is that reproduction is in two parts, or generations. Moss actually grows its own seeds in a little container, or 'operculum' that stands up on a little stalk. When the time is right, the operculum splits open, and a spore falls down - perhaps being blown by the wind - and starts the first generation (what we see as moss) all over again.
In moss the green leafy stuff is haploid or dipliod?
In moss, the green leafy stuff is haploid. Mosses have a life cycle that alternates between a haploid gametophyte stage (the leafy green structure) and a diploid sporophyte stage.
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.
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.
