A life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, the sporophyte, and a multicellular haploid form, the gametophyte; characteristic of plants. | ||
A flowering plant, which forms seeds inside a protective chamber called an ovary. | ||
In plants, the male gametangium, a moist chamber in which gametes develop. | ||
Embryonic plant tissue in the tips of roots and in the buds of shoots that supplies cells for the plant to grow in length. | ||
In plants, the female gametangium, a moist chamber in which gametes develop. | ||
A moss, liverwort, or hornwort; a nonvascular plant that inhabits the land but lacks many of the terrestrial adaptations of vascular plants. | ||
A protective cap of gametophyte tissue that wholly or partially covers an immature capsule in many mosses. | ||
A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that acts as an adaptation to prevent desiccation in terrestrial plants. | ||
Another name for land plants, recognizing that land plants share the common derived trait of multicellular, dependent embryos. | ||
The portion of a bryophyte sporophyte that gathers sugars, amino acids, water, and minerals from the parent gametophyte via transfer cells. | ||
Multicular plant structures in which gametes are formed. | ||
The mature gamete-producing structure of a gametophyte body of a moss. | ||
In organisms undergoing alternation of generations, the multicellular haploid form that mitotically produces haploid gametes that unite and grow into the sporophyte generation. | ||
A vascular plant that bears naked seeds. | ||
A term referring to a plant species that has 2 kinds of spores: microspores that develop into male gametophytes and megaspores that develop into female gametophytes. | ||
A term referring to a plant species that has a single kind of spore, which typically develops into a bisexual gametophyte. | ||
A small, herbaceous nonvascular plant that is a member of the phylum Anthocerophyta. | ||
The main photosynthetic organ of vascular plants. | ||
A hard material embedded in the cellulose matrix of vascular plant cell walls that functions as an important adaptation for support in terrestrial species. |
