Sporophyte Gametophyte (gametophore) FIGURE 20-10 The individual shoots of a moss superficially resemble those of a flowering plant, having stems, leaves, nodes and internodes, and even buds. None of these structures is homologous to the equivalent organ in flowering plants, but the same set of names is used for both groups. Dark green, haploid tissue; light green, diploid tissue.

Question

Draw a single moss plant, similar to the one shown. Be certain to show the gametophyte and the sporophyte. Now draw one without the sporophyte, showing only the gametophyte. The sporophytes usually have only a very brief life, and after they shed their spores, the gametophytes let them die.
