Where are the gametophytes of gymnosperms found?

The gametophytes of gymnosperms are found within the reproductive structures of the plant, such as the male cones for the pollen-producing male gametophytes and the ovules for the egg-producing female gametophytes.


Are the male and female gametophytes separate plants or part of the same plant?

Male and Female gametophytes are in separate plants


Is the sex organs in which gametes that are produced formed on gametophytes?

Yes, the sex organs in which gametes are produced are formed on gametophytes in plants. Gametophytes are the haploid phase of the plant life cycle, and they give rise to the male and female gametes through processes like mitosis and meiosis in specialized structures called gametangia.


What is the difference between microspores and megaspores?

The result of meiosis in angiosperms is the production of?

The result of meiosis in angiosperms is the production of haploid spores. This occurs in the reproductive structures of the plant, such as the anthers and ovaries, leading to the formation of male and female gametophytes. These gametophytes give rise to male and female gametes, ultimately leading to sexual reproduction in plants.


Mosses that reproduce with gametes are?

haploid. They produce male and female gametes through mitosis in specialized structures called antheridia (male) and archegonia (female). When these gametes fuse, they form a diploid zygote that develops into a sporophyte.


Where are the female gametophytes produced in non vascular plants?

antheridium


Do gametophytes produces seeds or pollen?

Gametophytes produce pollen, which is the male gametophyte. Seeds are produced by the fertilization of the female gametophyte by pollen.


How are the Gametophytes of seed plant different from the gametophytes of seedless plants?

Seed plants:produce seeds Seedless plants:don't produce seeds


What flowering plants becomes the female gametophyte?

Is the gametophyte the dominant generation?

in bryophytes the sporophytes is diploid(2n) while the gametophyte in bryophytes is haploid(n).In bryophytes the sporophytes are totally or partially dependent on gametophytes while gametophytes are the dominant generation in bryophytes.Male sporophytes produce male spores and that of female produce megaspores of female spores while male gametophytes produce male gametes while female gametophytes produce female gametes
