Description: 1) The familiar leafy green plant is a diploid sporophyte. 2) Meiosis in sporangia on underside of fronds yields haploid spores. 3) Spores germinate and develop into tiny haploid gametophytes that pro-duce eggs and sperm by mitosis. 4) Sperm swim to eggs and a fertilization occurs. 5) The sporophyte begins its development attached to the gametophyte, but it continues to grow and live independently after the gametophyte dies Picture Stats: Views: 334 Filesize: 314.99kB Height: 1039 Width: 1500 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=48239 |
