plant kingdom Flashcards
haplontic/gametophytic stage
concerned with formation of haploid gametes
diplontic/sporophytic stage
concerned with formation of diploid spores
haplontic life cycle
gametophyte is dominant, sporophyte is reduced
examples of haplontic life cycle
most of algae
diplontic life cycle
dominant phase sporophyte, reduced phase gametophyte
examples of diplontic life cycle; exception
angiosperms, gymnosperm; fucus(brown algae)
haplodiplontic life cycle
dominant phase gametophyte, recessive phase sporophyte
examples of haplodiplontic life cycle; execptions
bryophyta, polysiphonia, ectocarpus, kelps, laminaria
diplohaplontic life cycle
dominant phase-sporophytic, recessive phase- gametophyte
examples of diplohaplontic life cycle
pteridophytes
avascular plants
bryophyta
non-spermatophyta
pteridophyta
cryptogamae plants
thallophyta, pteridophyta,bryophyta
phanaerogamae plants
angiosperms, gymnosperms
describe thallophyta
chlorophyll-bearing, simple, thalloid, autotrophic
habitat of thallophyta
fresh, marine water, found on moist stones, soil, wood, association with fungi(lichens) animals like bear, sloth
gametophyte in algae
photosynthetic, free living, independent
sporophyte in algae
non photosynthetic, dependent, reduced
isogameous ; flagellated, non flagellated examples
ulothrix(flagellated),spirogyra(non-flagellated)
anisogamous examples in algae
eudorina
oogamous in algae examples
volvox,fucus,polysiphonia
thallophyta found in colonies
volvox
thallophyta found in filamentous form
spirogyra,ulothrix
asexual reproduction in thallophyta takes place by
zoospore, aplanospore
