- Identify whether the following parts play a role in gametophyte generation, sporophyte generation or both in gametophyte and sporophyte generation: Leaves Sorus or sori Antheridium Xylem tissue Phloem tissue Cone Wood Roots Root hairs Rhizoids Sporophyll Pollens Ovules Carpel Seed Coat Flagellated sperm Archegonium Sporangium Stamen Pistilarrow_forwardThe gametophyte of Pteridophytes is inconspicuous in comparison to the mosses. They are also commonly monecious (single "house", or thallus for male and female gamete production). The photo below shows a whole mount (w.m.) of a fern gametophyte at 40x. Make a sketch of the specimen and label the following structures: archegonium, antheridium, mature gametophyte (a.k.a. prothallus), rhizoids 90arrow_forwardWhich of the following comparisons between the moss life cycle and fern life cycle are correct? A) Mosses have flagellated sperm that need water to reach the female gamete, while the sperm of ferns are unflagellated and are not dependent on water.B) The sporophyte generation is smaller than the gametophyte generation in mosses, but the sporophyte generation is much larger than the gametophyte generation in ferns.C) The spores are produced in capsules on stalks in mosses but in small structures called sori on the underside of leaves in ferns.D) The gametes are produced in gametangia in mosses but in specialized structures on the underside of leaves in ferns.E) Both kinds of plants depend on wind for dispersal of spores.arrow_forward

They have swimming sperm that need water so they can swim to fertilize the eggs of other nearby plants. 3. They do not have lignin-stiffened vascular tissue or roots to effectively distribute water throughout the plant.arrow_forwardList three ways that ferns, which lack secondary growth,are able to elevate their leaves and thus access more sunlight.arrow_forward
