- gametophyte (gəmēˈtəfĪtˌ) [ key ], phase of plant life cycles in which the gametes, i.e., egg and sperm, are produced. The gametophyte is haploid, that is, each cell contains a single complete set of chromosomes, and arises from the germination of a haploid spore.

CELL DIVISION: MEIOSIS AND SEXUAL REPRODUCTION Gametogenesis | Back to Top. Gametogenesis is the process of forming gametes (by definition haploid, n) from diploid cells of the germ line. Spermatogenesis is the process of forming sperm cells by meiosis (in animals, by mitosis in plants) in specialized organs known as gonads (in males these are termed testes).

Biologoy A gametophyte is the haploid multicellular stage in the alternation of generations life cycle of plants and algae. It develops from a spore by mitotic cell division. Spores are the products of meiosis in sporophytes. Gametophytes produce haploid gametes by mitosis. In some types of plants and algae (e.g. Ulva) gametes are isogamous --that is, the gametes are all of one size, shape and general morphology.

The gametophyte is found where in flowering plants? The fusion of male and female gametes produces a zygote which develops into the sporophyte. In mosses (bryophytes) the gametophyte is the commonly known phase of the plant. An early developmental stage in the gametophyte of both mosses and ferns (immediately following the meiospore) is called the Protonema.

Sporophyte In flowering plants, the sporophyte comprises the whole multicellular body except the pollen and embryo sac. Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte phase on which the adult sporophyte is dependent for nutrition.The embryo sporophyte develops by cell division of the zygote within the female sex organ or archegonium, and in its early development is therefore nurtured by the gametophyte.he sporophyte produces spores (hence the name) by meiosis, a process also known as reduction division that reduces the number of chromosomes in each spore mother cell by half. The resulting meiospores develop into a gametophyte.

- In the anther, microspores divide and develop into male gametophytes, but the male gametophyte is only two cells. One of these two cells, the generative cell, produces two sperm. The other cell, the tube cell, produces the pollen tube that sperm travel down to reach the female gametophyte.

- The gametes, formed by meiosis in the sexorgans, or gonads —the testes and ovaries —are haploid(see chapter 12). The process of spermatogenesis (spermformation) and oogenesis (egg formation) will be de-scribed in later sections. For a more detailed discussionof asexual and sexual reproduction, see chapter 12.

- A gametophyte is a multicellular haploid generation found in plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations. It produces haploid gametes, or eggs and sperm, usually in gametangia (archegonia and antheridia). These egg and sperm cells fuse during sexual reproduction and produce a diploid zygote.

Sporophyte Bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) have a dominant gametophyte phase on which the adult sporophyte is dependent for nutrition. The embryo sporophyte develops by cell division of the zygote within the female sex organ or archegonium, and in its early development is therefore nurtured by the gametophyte. Because this embryo-nurturing feature of the life cycle is common to all land plants they are known collectively as the Embryophytes.

- Gametophytes. The gametophyte is the dominant phase in the life cycle of moss plants. This is the form of the plant most people are familiar with since it is often seen carpeting trees, rocks, and parts of the forest floor. Photosynthesis takes place in the gametophyte phase.

Egg cell Gametes are produced by the gametophyte, which is the haploid generation. The female gametophyte produces structures called archegonia, and the egg cells form within them via mitosis. The typical bryophyte archegonium consists of a long neck with a wider base containing the egg cell.

GAMETOPHYTE DEVELOPMENT IN FERNS In ferns and other more primitive plants, the haploid gametophytic phase of the life cycle, from spore germination to fertilization of the gametes, is completely independent of the diploid sporophytic plant. The mature fern gametophyte is a multicellular, autotrophic yet small (∼1–2 mm) structure.

Gametophyte: Definition & Explanation Gamete production is the main job of a gametophyte. Gametes are haploid reproductive cells, such as eggs and sperm. They are produced in sex organs on the haploid gametophyte by mitosis, or cellular division without reduction of chromosome sets. There are two sex organs, or gametangia, found in gametophytes:

- First, all plants undergo an alternation of generations, between a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage. In the most primitive plants, like mosses, the gametophyte is dominant (i.e. it's big and green).In higher plants like ferns and fern allies, the sporophyte stage is dominant.Gametophytes produce gametes (sperm and eggs) in a special structure called a gametangium (-ia), while sporophytes produce spores in a special structure called a sporangium (-ia).Second, all plants need to get water to their cells.n higher plants like ferns and fern allies, the sporophyte stage is dominant.

Biology 2 Chapter 30 Gametophytes of seedless plants are macroscopic and gametophytes of seed plants are microscopic. What is the advantage of tiny gametophytes in seed plants? Tiny gametophytes can develop from spores retained within the sporangia of the parental sporophyte.

gametophyte A pine seed thus contains three generations of the pine plant: the seed coat that arises from diploid tissue belonging to the ovule, the haploid gametophyte tissue that will serve as a food reserve for the embryo after germination, and the diploid embryo itself. In angiosperms, the female gametophyte has evolved into an even more reduced form.

- Microspores (produced in a microsporangium) can develop into male gametophytes that produce sperm within antheridia. Because the gametophytes develop within the spores, they are not free-living as the gametophytes of other seedless vascular plants.s the spore germinates, it develops into a thin, filamentous stage called a protonema. As the protonema grows, it develops into a mature gametophyte with root-like rhizoids that anchor the plant and an erect, stem-like structure with whorls of leaf-like photosynthetic tissues.

Fern A fern gametophyte typically consists of: 1  Prothallus: A green, photosynthetic structure that is one cell thick, usually heart or kidney shaped, 3–10 mm long and 2–8 mm broad. The prothallus produces gametes by means of: Antheridia: Small spherical structures that produce flagellate sperm.

Biology Unit 12 (mosses & ferns) These two structures make up the gametophyte. The bryophyte gametophyte is larger than the sporophyte. The gametophyte produces sperm and eggs via mitosis and the sperm swim down the neck of the archegonium and fertilized a single egg which produces a diploid zygote. The zygote then produces the sporophyte via mitosis.
