10. Is the egg cell produced by meiosis or mitosis within an archegonium? Explain Obtain a prepared slide containing mature sporophytes and, using the low power lens of the microscope, find a complete sporophyte. 11. Is the sporophyte haploid or diploid?. Note that the sporophyte is attached to the gametophyte by a large foot. This structure grows through the base of the venter into the storage tissue of the archegonial head. 12. What is the function of the foot? 13. Is the sporophyte an "independent" or "dependent" organism? Explain ium (oon tout

Question
10. Is the egg cell produced by meiosis or mitosis within an archegonium? Explain Obtain a prepared slide containing mature sporophytes and, using the low power lens of the microscope, find a complete sporophyte. 11. Is the sporophyte haploid or diploid?. Note that the sporophyte is attached to the gametophyte by a large foot. This structure grows through the base of the venter into the storage tissue of the archegonial head. 12. What is the function of the foot? 13. Is the sporophyte an "independent" or "dependent" organism? Explain The sporophyte also consists of a stalk, or seta, and a capsule, or sporangium (see text Figure 16-8, page 371). Numerous spores and elongated elaters are enclosed by the sterile jacket layer of the capsule. The elaters have spirally arranged, hygroscopic (moisture absorbing) wall thickenings that are sensitive to very slight changes in humidity. By twisting with changes in humidity, they aid in spore dispersal (see text Figure 16-12, page 375). Note the remnants of the old archegonium, or calyptra. al solil- no Yusup 80 5.
