The photo below is a longitudinal section (I.s.) of the strobilus of Selaginella at 40x. How does this photo illustrate the importance of the previous question?
One of the genera of Lycophytes are the Selaginellaceae. Like other Lycophytes, Selaginellids bear their spores in a strobilus but they have an unusual strobilus. Which answer below best describes this difference? O their spores are always diploid O they are gaemtophyte dominant O their spores are heterosporous O their strobilus is dependnent upon the female gametophyte like mosses APR 25 étv MacBook Pro G Search or type URL @ #3 % %24
The Riccia is a bryophyte because: It has multicellular sex organs with a sterile jacket and lacks vascular tissues Its sporophyte lacks differentiation and has a single- layered jacket It occurs mostly on land and has more motile sperm It has a heteromorphic alternation of generation and lacks leaves Next

Draw the life cycle of a typica bryophyte such as moss. Your drawing should contain the following terms: 2N and N, Sporophyte and Gametophyte, Sporangium, Meiosis, Spores, Protonema, Antheridium, Sperm, Archegonium, Egg and Fertilization

Complete the following paragraph to describe the characteristics of liverworts and mosses. antheridia protonema rhizoids sexual gemmae roots archegonia fragmentation asexual 1999 binary fission gemmules thalli Reset Help Liverworts and mosses are examples of nonvascular plants. Liverworts such as Marchantia have a smooth upper surface, and a lower surface with that project into the soil. The smooth upper surface of the thallus of a liverwort contains groups of cells called cups that can produce new plant organisms asexually. During sexual reproduction in liverworts, flagellated sperm are produced by and eggs are produced by After fertilization, small sporophytes produce windblown spores. Typically, mosses can reproduce asexually by almost every part of the moss plant to produce During the life cycle of a moss, a its structure. This process allows will produce upright leafy thalli along The thalli of a moss produce antheridia and archegonia, which are involved in reproduction.
The gametophyte of Pteridophytes is inconspicuous in comparison to the mosses. They are also commonly monecious (single house for male and female gamete production).
