What plants have a prothallus that forms archegonia and antheridia and has a dominant sporophyte?

Ferns are plants that have a prothallus with archegonia and antheridia. In ferns, the sporophyte generation is dominant, meaning it is the more visible and long-lived stage of the plant's life cycle compared to the gametophyte stage.


Which generation is dominant in ferns: the sporophyte or the gametophyte?

In ferns, the dominant generation is the sporophyte.


What is the dominant generation in ferns and how does it contribute to the reproductive cycle of these plants?

The dominant generation in ferns is the sporophyte, which is the larger and more visible stage of the plant. The sporophyte produces spores through meiosis, which then develop into the gametophyte stage. The gametophyte produces gametes (eggs and sperm) through mitosis, which then fuse to form a new sporophyte, completing the reproductive cycle of ferns.


Which stage in the alternation of generations life cycle would fern represent?

The Sporophyte life cycle is the dominant stage in Ferns (vascular non-seed plants)


What does moss ferns and liverwort have in common?

They both: use photosynthesis do not produce seeds or flowers use spores to reproduce have a dominant gametophyte stage


What Were the dominant plants in the precambrian?

Ferns


What plants have a dominant gametophyte?

The sporophyte generation is dominant in ferns.


What is the sporophyte stage of ferrns?

The sporophyte stage of ferns is the dominant stage in their life cycle. It is the diploid phase where spore-producing structures called sporangia develop on the underside of the fronds. Spores are released from the sporangia and germinate into a new gametophyte plant.


Is the sporophyte stage of a moss much larger than the gametophyte stage?

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 generation is dominant in ferns and how does it contribute to their reproductive cycle?

The dominant generation in ferns is the sporophyte generation. This generation produces spores through meiosis, which then develop into gametophytes. The gametophytes produce gametes that fuse to form a new sporophyte, completing the reproductive cycle of ferns.


What trait do ferns have that mosses do not?

Mosses are non-vascular plants whereas ferns are vascular. In ferns Sporophyte is dominant but in mosses gametophyte is dominant generation. Ferns have definite roots but in mosses leaves and roots are mostly false.


Is the gametophyte stage the dominant stage in a gymnosperms life cycle?

No, the sporophyte stage is the dominant stage in the gymnosperm life cycle. The gametophyte stage is reduced and dependent on the sporophyte for nutrition and support.
