| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In bryophytes is the gametophyte of sporophyte generation dominant? | gametophyte |
| Is Machantia a leafy or thallose liverwort? | thallose |
| Describe 2 ways Marchantia can reproduce asexually. | when older parts of the plant die and newer branches develop into separate plants.via gemmae that are dispersed when raindrops splash the cups and then gemmae develop into new plants. |
| is the plant with gemmae cups the gametophyte or the sporophyte generation? | gametophyte |
| where are the gemmae cups and gemmae located? | gemmae cup are located on the gametophyte plant and the gemmae are inside the gemmae cup. |
| in male Marchantia plants stalked_______ produce the antheridia which produce______? | Antheridiophore,sperm |
| are the antheridia on the upper or lower head surface? | upper |
| in female Marchantia plants stalked_______ produce the archegonia which produce______? | Archegoniophore,eggs |
| are archegonia on the upper or lower head surface? | lower |
| physically where is the sporophyte located on the gametophyte | under the archegonial head. |
| what part of the gametophyte plant does the calyptra come from? | archegonia. |
| what is the puropose of elators and how do they work? | they respond to humidity.as they dry out they twist and fluff the spores up. |
| are spores haploid or diplod? | haploid |
| what are the only stuctures in Marchantia produced my meiosis? | spores |
| Name 2 other genra of liverworts | Clasmatocolea.Riccia |
| In what structure of the Anthocerose sporophyte are spores produced? | adult gametophyte |
| Is a calptra derived from gametophyte or sporophyte? | gametophyte |
| are sperm and eggs produced my mitosis or meiosis? | mitosis |
| in bryophytes how do the sperm reach the egg? | sperm are released from the mature antheridium and on reaching the vinicity of an archegonium.are chemically attracted into the neck canal where it then fertilizes the egg. |
| when the spores germinate what will they produce? | Protonemata |
| what is the purpose of the peristome teeth?how do they work? | the teeth uncurl slowly when the air is relatively dry and curl up again when it is moist.the movements of the teeth expose spores,which are gradually released. |
| what tissues/structures in a Polytrichum moss are diploid? | the capsule,operculum,stalk/septa |
| are the spores in Polytrichum moss produced my mitosis or meiosis? | meiosis |
| what two cells united in fertlization | sperm and egg |
| does fertiliztion produce the gametophyte or the sporophyte plant in the life cycle? | sporophyte |
| Describe another way that spores are dispersed from a moss capsule. | spore(n)develop into photosynthetic long branched filaments(protonema).Buds then develop along the protonema,when the buds become mature they are the gametophyte which is either male or female. |
