Q

What are sporophytes, and how do they develop?

A

Gametes produced by gametophytes fertilise and develop into sporophytes.

Q

Over time, what happened to the usage of gametophytes and sporophytes in plant lifecycles?

A

Progressive reduction in gametophyte production, and an increase in sporophytes.

Q

Are moss embryophytes?

17
Q

Where is the zygote of moss found?

A

In the gametophyte.

18
Q

Is a moss zygote released to form a spore?

A

No, it develops into a spore within the gametophyte.

19
Q

When are moss spores released, and what structure do they have to aid them?

A

Released when dry, and have a waxy coating to prevent maceration.

20
Q

What happens when moss spores mature?

A

Germinate into a gametophyte by meiosis, either male or female.

21
Q

What is a male moss gametophyte called? What about female?

A

Male - antheridia

Female - Archegonia

22
Q

Are mosses mono or diecious? What does this mean in terms of gametophyte production?

A

Monoecious, both gametophyte genders can be on the same plant.

23
Q

What does sperm need to reach the egg?

24
Q

Do bryophytes have true roots and leaves?

A

No, they have false ones.

25
What are bryophyte roots and leaves called?
Leaves - microfils | Roots - rhizoids
26
Why are bryophyte roots false?
They anchor but do not absorb.
27
Can bryophytes reproduce asexually?
Yes.
28
What are gemmae and thalluses?
Involved in asexual reproduction in bryophytes. | Gemmae cups are produced, and water splashes in, ejecting structures that germinate into thalluses.
29
Are bryophytes vascular?
No vascular tissue.
30
Do bryophytes have cuticles? Can they survive dehydration?
They have no cuticle, and can survive 80% dessication.
31
How do bryophytes disperse?
Spores.
32
Do bryophytes have lignin?
No.
33
What structure do moss, liverwort and hornwort have?
Moss - leafy Liverwort - leafy or thallus Hornwort - thallus
34
What cell organisation do rhizoids have in modd, liverwort and hornwort?
Moss - multicellular | Liver+hornwort - unicellular
35
What position are microfils in moss, liverwort and hornwort?
Moss - prostrate or upright | Liver+hornwort - prostrate
36
What are stele cells? What has them?
Vascular like cells, but not true vascular cells, arranged in rows. Leafy liverwort can have them.
37
What is the seta/stalk of sporophytes in moss, liverwort and hornwort like?
Moss - wiry | Liver+hornwort - soft
38
What is the growth rate of sporophyte seta/stalk in moss, liverwort and hornwort like?
Moss - gradual | Liver+hornwort - rapid
