LIFE CYCLE PATTERNS

Question 1

spore mother cells

Answer 1

sporocytes

Question 2

a sequence of changes that an organism goes through in form before returning to its starting state.

Answer 2

life cycle

Question 3

The main plant body is haploid gametophyte.
The dominant, photosynthetic phase in such plants is the free-living gametophyte.
Sporophytic generation is represented only by the zygote.

Answer 3

Haplontic Life Cycle

Question 4

Diploid sporophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic, independent phase of the plant.
The gametophytic phase is represented by a short lived, single to few-celled haploid gametophyte that is dependent on the photosynthetic sporophyte.

Answer 4

Diplonyic Life Cycle

Question 5

both phases (haplontic and diplontic) are multicellular and equally dominant.

Answer 5

Haplodiplontic Life Cycle

Question 6

means they make two distinct types of spores

Answer 6

heterosporous

Question 7

the sporophyte produces only one type of spore

Answer 7

homosporous
