In ferns, the diploid structure is the sporophyte, which is the dominant phase of their life cycle. The sporophyte consists of the leafy fronds and the underground rhizome. It produces spores through meiosis in specialized structures called sporangia, which are typically located on the undersides of the fronds. These spores are haploid and develop into the gametophyte stage, completing the life cycle.
What else can I help you with?
Are ferns haploid or diploid in their reproductive cycle?
Ferns are diploid in their reproductive cycle.
Are archegonia haploid or diploid?
Archegonia are haploid structures found in plants. They are part of the female reproductive structure and are responsible for producing the egg cells.
Are the cells of fern that you see haploid or diploid?
The cells of a fern plant that you see are diploid. Ferns have a lifecycle which alternates between a diploid sporophyte generation and a haploid gametophyte generation. The visible fern plant is the diploid sporophyte generation.
In which group of plants are both the sporophyte and gametophyte free-living?
In ferns, both the sporophyte (diploid) and gametophyte (haploid) are independent and free-living stages in the life cycle. The sporophyte is the leafy plant we typically see, while the gametophyte is a small, independent structure that produces gametes.
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)
Does fern grow on the ground?
The structure that fern roots grow from are rhizomes.
The heart-shaped gametpphyte structure in ferns is called what?
prothallus.
What special structure is used by ferns for reproduction?
It is the rhizoid, I think.
Do ferns have a cell wall?
Yes, ferns have a cell wall. The cell wall is a rigid outer layer that provides structure and support to plant cells, including those of ferns.
What is the difference between cycadopsida and ferns?
cycopsida is palm like structure
Can you help me identify different types of ferns?
Yes, I can help you identify different types of ferns. Ferns can be classified into various categories based on their characteristics such as size, shape, and frond structure. Some common types of ferns include sword ferns, maidenhair ferns, and bird's nest ferns. Each type of fern has unique features that can help you distinguish them from one another.
Structure that holds antheridia and archegonia in ferns?
The structure that holds antheridia and archegonia in ferns is called the gametophyte. It is a small, heart-shaped structure that develops on the underside of the fern frond. Antheridia produce sperm cells, while archegonia produce egg cells for sexual reproduction in ferns.
