Sporophyte: Definition & Examples Spores are haploid reproductive cells. Remember, a sporophyte is a diploid organism, so in order to produce haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes, meiosis must occur. Meiosis is a type of cell division that cuts the number of chromosomes in a cell in half. In sporophytes, it occurs in structures called sporangia (sporangium is singular). Once spores are produced in a sporangium, they are often released into the air. A single haploid spore will undergo mitosis, or cell division without a reduction in chromosome number, to become a multicellular haploid gametophyte.

MADMAN BIOLOGY The multicellular haploid form in the life cycle of organisms undergoing alternation of generations; mitotically produces haploid gametes that unite and grow into the sporophyte generation.

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.

Hall of Fame Member Directory Hoy lost his hearing and his speech as a child and, as was the custom of the period, was coined 'Dummy'. William Ellsworth Dummy Hoy played for seven teams in his 14-year Major League career from 1888-1902, with his best years in Cincinnati as a Red from 1894-97 and 1902.

The Life Cycle of Plants The gametophyte comprises the main plant (the green moss or liverwort), while the diploid sporophyte is much smaller and is attached to the gametophyte. The haploid stage, in which a multicellular haploid gametophyte develops from a spore and produces haploid gametes, is the dominant stage in the bryophyte life cycle. The mature gametophyte produces both male and female gametes, which join to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into the diploid sporophyte, which extends from the gametophyte and produces haploid spores through meiosis. Once the spores germinate, they produce new gametophyte plants and the cycle continues. Tracheophyte Generations

Protista Haploid spores give rise to a multicellular haploid leaf-like structure called a thallus. The thallus produces gametes. Green algae are isogamus, meaning they have only one type of gamete, rather than having separate male and female gametes.or this reason, those two groups are sometimes classified as protozoa rather than algae. In this discussion, we will group euglenoids and dinoflagellates with the algae so that we may compare their photosynthetic characteristics. Keep in mind that this inclusion does not imply close relation to other algae.

- The haploid (gametophyte) generation gives birth to the diploid (sporophyte) generation, and that diploid sporophyte generation gives birth to the next haploid gametophyte generation, and so on. All plants go through this life cycle, though the (homologous) stages may look very different across taxa.

Alternation of generations A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2n to n. Because meiosis is a key step in the alternation of generations, it is likely that meiosis has a fundamental adaptive function.

Shared Flashcard Set cones are specialized reproductive structures of the sporophyte. Each cone consists of several “scales” arranged around an axis. Each scale is a sporophyll that will bear the spores of the sporophyte generation. An ovulate cone has many hard, radiating scales, each bearing a pair of ovules. Pollen cones are generally much smaller than ovulate cones; they contain many sporangia, each of which makes numerous haploid spores by meiosis. Male gametophytes (pollen grains) develop from the spores.

The Life Cycle of Plants In bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), the dominant generation is haploid, so that the gametophyte comprises what we think of as the main plant. The opposite is true for tracheophytes (vascular plants), in which the diploid generation is dominant and the sporophyte (2n) comprises the main plant.

Sporogenesis Sporogenesis is the production of spores in biology. The term is also used to refer to the process of reproduction via spores. Reproductive spores were found to be formed in eukaryotic organisms, such as plants, algae and fungi, during their normal reproductive life cycle.eproductive spores grow into multicellular haploid individuals or sporelings. In heterosporous organisms, two types of spores exist: microspores give rise to males and megaspores to females. In homosporous organisms, all spores look alike and grow into individuals carrying reproductive parts of both genders.

Bryophyta - 1 (3) the sporophyte is levitating itself clear of the mother-ship on a long extension tube, the seta. (4) Inside the sporophyte, cells on the surface of a central columella (think of it as a little internal shoot) are undergoing meiotic divisions to create haploid spores.

- 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.osses and liverworts are lumped together as bryophytes, plants lacking true vascular tissues, and sharing a number of other primitive traits. They also lack true stems, roots, or leaves, though they have cells that perform these general functions.

- The homosporous spores develop into a teeny-tiny green gametophyte, just a few mm long, that looks like the gametophyte of a fern. The gametophyte is haploid, free-living, and autotrophic. Division Pterophyta - (12,000 sp., fr. Gr. pteridion=little wing), ferns

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss, graduated Dartmouth College in 1925, then pursued a Doctor of Philosophy (in the US, PhD) in English Literature from Lincoln College, Oxford University. He married in 1927 and returned to the United States without completing his studies.

Alternation of generations A multicellular gametophyte, which is haploid with n chromosomes, alternates with a multicellular sporophyte, which is diploid with 2 n chromosomes, made up of n pairs. A mature sporophyte produces spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from 2 n to n.and plants all have heteromorphic (anisomorphic) alternation of generations, in which the sporophyte and gametophyte are distinctly different. All bryophytes, i.e. liverworts, mosses and hornworts, have the gametophyte generation as the most conspicuous.

Dictionary Definition The sporophyte stage of a plant undergoes meiosis which produces  haploid spores. Spores can also be produced during meiosis in the  plant life cycle. spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersal and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of … many bacteria, plants, algae, fungi and some protozoans.
