In reference to the sporophyte and gametophyte, are the stages of the plant's life cycle thus being the same.

Is a snapdragon monoecious or dioecious?

The gametophyte of the fern is monoecious since both the male and female sexual parts (termed antheridia and archegonia) are both on the same plant. I don't think there are any extant dioecious ferns.


What are the different stages of a plant's life cycle?

The plant cycle consists of 5 main processes. The uvula, The morph the Susin, phinosis and the Lisha. They each have a specific process and each do something to help and at the same time destroy the Plant.


What is the life span of a fern?

Ferns are vascular plants differing from the more primitive lycophytes by having true leaves (megaphylls). They differ from seed plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) in their mode of reproduction - lacking flowers and seeds. Like all other vascular plants, they have a life cycle referred to as alternation of generations, characterized by a diploid sporophytic and a haploid gametophytic phase. Unlike the gymnosperms and angiosperms, the ferns' gametophyte is a free-living organism. Life cycle of a typical fern: # A sporophyte (diploid) phase produces haploid spores by meiosis; # A spore grows by mitosis into a gametophyte, which typically consists of a photosynthetic prothallus # The gametophyte produces gametes (often both sperm and eggs on the same prothallus) by mitosis # A mobile, flagellate sperm fertilizes an egg that remains attached to the prothallus # The fertilized egg is now a diploid zygote and grows by mitosis into a sporophyte (the typical "fern" plant).


What are the similarities between liverworts and ferns?

Both are embryophytes or land plants. They share some patterns such as having an embryo, antheridia, archegonium, sporanium, stomata on the sporophyte... otherwise they are quite different.


What do you call the leaf in the seed?

A fern leaf can be called a frond. (The same word is also used for palm leaves.)

What is a plant's lifecycle?

Depends on the plant: If it is a bryophyte, most of the time is spent in the gametophyte stage, until a sperm and egg fertilize. Once that happens the plant goes to the sporophyte stage, where spores are released to create more gametophytes. In seedless vascular plants, such as ferns, the plant still starts in the gametophyte (until fertilization) but the majority of the cycle is spent in the sporophyte stage (release spores to create new gametophytes). Seed bearing vascular plants have both stages at the same time but the sporophyte stage is not seen, all takes place in the flower.

What are the reproductive structures of bryophytes called?

The reproductive structures of bryophytes are called gametangia. These structures produce the gametes (sperm and egg) necessary for sexual reproduction in bryophytes. Gametangia are typically found at the tips of the gametophyte plant.

When was the movie Where the Red Fern Grows made?

The movie "Where the Red Fern Grows" was first made in 1974. It was based on the novel of the same name by Wilson Rawls.


What are examples of fractals in everyday life?

Examples of fractals in everyday life would be for example a fern. A fern is a type of leaf with a certain pattern. This pattern is the fractal because as you zoom in on the fern the pattern remains the same. It is the same thing over and over again no matter how far you look into it. This happens because of the fractal dimension.
