Q

Life cycle of a moss

A

1- Males: haploid spore develops into protonemata
protonemata develops into male gametophyte antheridia that makes sperm
Females: spore develops into female gametophyte, archegonia. Makes egg

  1. Sperm gets in water. Sperm lands on female gametphye archegonium and swims down. Fertilizes the egg to produces diploid cell, zygote
  2. Diploid cell undergoes mitosis to develop into a sporophyte. Sporophyte arises out of gametophyte
  3. Sporophyte undergoes meiosis to produce spores. Releases spores and sporophyte disintegrates

Q

Ferns

A
  • division pterophyta
  • 20,000 species
  • appeared approx 400mya
  • ptero: means wing or feathered
  • vascular plants
  • sporophyte dominant
  • swimming sperm
  • homosporous or heterosporous
18
Q

Life cycle of a fern

A

1- Sporangium release spores that develop into bisexual photosynthetic gametophyte
2- Each gametophyte has Antheridia makes sperm, archegonia makes egg
3- Water transmits sperm, fertilizes egg in archegonia to produce diploid zygote
4- Zygote develops into sporophyte, sporophyte takes over and gametophyte withers away
5- On sporophyte are sorus that contains clusters of sporangium. Sporangium undergoes meiosis to produce spores
6- Sporangium releases spores

19
Q

sorus

A

cluster of sporangium

20
Q

sporangium

A
  • where spores produced
  • diploid structure that makes haploid sperms
  • produces 64
  • releases spores
21
Q

Homospory

A

-makes one size spore
-all mosses, most ferns
Sporangium produces single size spore, spore develops into typically bisexual gametophyte, gametophyte produces egg and sperm

22
Q

Heterospory

A

Megasporangium produces 4 spores, surviving one is megaspore, megaspore turns into female gametophyte (archegonium), produces egg

Microsporangium produces microspores, microspore turns into male gametophyte antheridia, makes sperm

23
Q

Difference between male and female in all life

A
  • size of gametes
  • female has bigger gametes
  • male has smaller gametes
24
Q

difference between mosses and everything else

A

-vascular tissue

25
Q

5 divisions of seed plants

A 
1- Cyanophyta
2-Gingkophyta
3-Gnetophyta 
4-Coniferophyta
5-Anthophyta
26
Q

Seed plants

A

seed and pollen

27
Q

Seed

A
  • embryo, nutrition, seed coat

- develops from ovule

28
Q

ovule

A

Novel structure appearing in seed plants
Site of meiosis for female
Contains female gametophyte, female sex organs, egg and embryo
The megasporangium, megaspore, and their integument(s)
Inside each ovule, a female gametophyte develops from a megaspore and produces one or more eggs

29
Q

Integument

A

A layer of sporophyte tissue that envelops and protects the megasporangium

30
Q

Ovule development

A

a) Unfertilized ovule
The micropyle: the only opening through the integument, allows entry of a pollen grain

b) Fertilized ovule
A megaspore develops into a female gametophyte, which produces an egg
The pollen grain, which has entered through the micropyle, contains a male gametophyte
The male gametophyte develops a pollen tube that discharges sperm, therefore fertilizing the egg
c) Gymnosperm seed
Fertilization initiates the transformation of the ovule into a seed
Consists of a sporophyte embryo, a food supply, and a protective seed coat
The megasporangium dries out and collapses
Contains multiple generations
Seed coat: Parental Sporophyte generation
-Female gametophyte: Haploid generation
- New zygote: 3rd generation
Female gametophyte- bagged lunch
Seed nourishes young offspring with haploid gametophyte tissue

31
Q

Pollen

A

IS NOT SPERM
Is the male gametophyte in seed plants
Contains sperm

Seed plants only develop if ovule is fertilized

32
Q

The conifers

A

-division coniferophyta
-550 species
-reproductive organs in cones: both male(pollen)and female (egg)
Naked seeds “gymnosperms”: seed sits there as an ovule, nothing else around it
Seed: embryo nourished by megagametophyte
Slow reproduction (see jack pine)
Sporophyte dominant
Heterosporous
Microgametophyte= pollen
Megagametophyte
-Within ovule
-Makes egg and then nourishes embryo

33
Q

Life cycle of conifer

A
  1. Each conifer tree has both male and female cones
  2. Male cones make diploid microsporocytes (before meiosis) in microsporangium. Microsporocytes divide by meiosis, producing haploid microspores. Microspores develops into a pollen grain: a male gametophyte enclosed within the pollen wall, spread by the wind
  3. A female cone projection has two ovules, each containing a megasporangium: Megasporocyte undergoes meiosis, produces 4 haploid products, only 1 survives which is called the megaspore
  4. The megaspore develops into a female gametophyte by mitosis that contains one, two or three archegonia, each which will form an egg
  5. Pollen forms pollen tube that digests its way through the megasporangium
  6. Fertilization occurs when sperm and egg unite
  7. Fertilization usually occurs more than a year after pollination. The ovule becomes a seed, consisting of an embryo, food supply and seed coat
34
Q

Megagametophyte in conifers

A

Makes egg in archegonium

Nourishes embryo

35
Q

Microgametophyte in conifers

A

-pollen grain, makes sperm
