| the alternation of a sexual phase and an asexual phase. The sexual phase is called the gametophyte and produces gametes. The asexual phase is called the sporophyte and produces spores asexually. | ||
| the male sex organ of spore-producing plants | ||
| Reproductive structure that produces eggs in seedless plants | ||
| a dry dehiscent seed vessel or the spore-containing structure of e.g. mosses | ||
| the gamete-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations | ||
| upper part of moss capsule often specialized for spore discharge | ||
| A mass of green, branched, one-cell-thick filaments produced by germinating moss spores. | ||
| any of various slender filaments that function as roots in mosses and ferns and fungi etc | ||
| stalk of a moss capsule | ||
| organ containing or producing spores | ||
| the spore-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations | ||
| a plant body without true stems or roots or leaves or vascular system | ||
| row or cluster of thick walled cells on a sporangium that function in spore release | ||
| Referring to a plant species that has a single kind of spore, which typically develops into a bisexual gametophyte. | ||
| Referring to a plant species that has two kinds of spores: microspores, which develop into male gametophytes, and megaspores, which develop into female gametophytes. | ||
| a membrane enclosing and protecting the developing spores especially that covering the sori of a fern | ||
| a plant structure that produces megaspores | ||
| a plant structure that produces microspores | ||
| In lycophytes, a small leaf with a single unbranched vein. | ||
| Fern spore germinates into a heart-shaped structure | ||
| Leafless axes that branch at their tips. Found in Selaginellas. | ||
| cluster of sporangia usually on underside of a fern frond | ||
| Compact cluster of spore-bearing structures found in seedless vascular plants | ||
| in non-flowering plants, a sporophyll that bears only microsporangia | ||
| A spore from a heterosporous plant species that develops into a male gametophyte. | ||
| Structure that grows from a pollen grain to an ovule, enabling a sperm to pass directly to an egg | ||
| Layer of sporophyte tissue that contributes to the structure of an ovule of a seed plant. | ||
| the part of the stamen that contains pollen | ||
| A spore from a heterosporous plant species that develops into a female gametophyte. | ||
| in plants, a flower structure that contains one or more ovules from which female gametophytes are produced; in animals, the female gonad that produces eggs | ||
| The female reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of the stigma, style, and ovary. | ||
| a single cell, which grows in the sporangium. grows and undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores | ||
| a small or immature ovum | ||
| the male gametophyte of a heterosporous plant; pollen grain in a seed plant. | ||
| that part of the ovary of a flowering plant where the ovules form | ||
| Just below the epidermis and has special U-shaped wall thickenings; the special wall thickening function in anther opening for pollen release. | ||
| tiny particles (male gametophytes) produced by seed plants that contain the cells that later become sperm cells | ||
| The chamber or opening inside the ovary where the ovules are found | ||
| a spore from a heterosporous plant species that develops into a male gametophyte | ||
| a mature fertilized plant ovule consisting of an embryo and its food source and having a protective coat or testa | ||
| the female gametophyte produced by the megaspore of a plant that produces both microspore and megaspores | ||
| the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower, consisting of an anther and a filament. | ||
| inner part of an ovule, in which the embryo sac develops; equivalent to a megasporangium | ||
| layer of cells lining the chamber of anthers (microsporangia) which supplies nutrients to developing pollen grains | ||
| a dense clusters of flowers or foliage | ||
| the cuplike or ringlike or tubular structure of a flower which bears the sepals and stamens and calyx | ||
| group of bracts more or less held together as a unit, subtending a flower, fruit, or inflorescence | ||
| enlarged tip of a stem that bears the floral parts | ||
| Green Algae |
