A mature sporophyte produces the spores. Likewise a mature gametophyte produces the gametes. The life cycle of the plant is completed by the alternation of these two generations.

What is the dominant phase of an angiosperm life cycle?

The dominant phase of an angiosperm life cycle is the sporophyte phase. This is the phase where the plant is in its mature form, producing flowers and seeds through the process of sexual reproduction. The sporophyte phase is the main phase where growth and development occur in angiosperms.


Which generation in seed plants is most obvious?

The sporophyte generation is the most obvious in seed plants. This generation is the dominant phase and is the one that is most readily visible in the form of the mature plant.


What is the function of a prothallium?

The prothallium is the gametophyte stage in the life cycle of ferns. Its main function is to produce gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis, which will eventually lead to fertilization and the formation of a new sporophyte plant.

What is the function of the amature plant?

The main function of the mature plant is to produce flowers for reproduction. These flowers contain the reproductive organs necessary for creating seeds. Additionally, mature plants are responsible for photosynthesis, using sunlight to produce energy for growth and survival.


What does it mean when a gametophyte is dominant over a dependent sporophyte?

What generation is dominant in both gymnosperms and angiosperms?

The dominant generation in gymnosperms is the sporophyte generation, while in angiosperms it is also the sporophyte generation. The sporophyte generation produces the structures that we commonly recognize as trees, shrubs, and flowers in plants.


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.


What does the sporophyte grow out of?

In moss, where the sporophyte grows directly out of the top of the gametophyte.
