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-
