What is the advantage for a moss in having a capsule at the end of a stalk that extends above the rest of the plant?

Having a capsule at the end of a stalk allows moss to disperse spores more effectively for reproduction. Elevating the capsule helps in dispersing spores over a wider area through wind or rain, increasing the chances of successful reproduction.


What are the structures inside the moss capsule called?

The structures inside a moss capsule are called peristome teeth. These teeth help regulate the release of spores from the capsule by responding to changes in humidity.

A fringe of pointed teeth surrounding a moss capsule?

The fringe of pointed teeth surrounding a moss capsule is known as the peristome. It helps regulate the release of spores from the capsule by responding to changes in humidity and moisture levels. The teeth can open and close to control spore dispersal, aiding in the moss's reproductive process.


What is the function of a moss spore seta?

The capsule is veryimportant to the reproduction of the moss. During the reproduction, the egg cell develops into the spore capsule. Then the spore capsule is released and it joins with the sperm cell. Soon, a new moss is formed.


What is the ploidy level of seta calyptracapsule operculum and perstome of moss plant?

In mosses, the seta, calyptra, capsule, operculum, and peristome are all part of the sporophyte generation, which is diploid (2n). The seta is the stalk that supports the capsule, while the calyptra is the protective cap that covers the developing capsule. The operculum is the lid of the capsule, and the peristome consists of structures that aid in spore dispersal. Overall, all these structures are diploid, arising from the fusion of gametes in the haploid gametophyte stage.
