Explain General seedless plant life cycle
Goes through a MULTICELLULAR haploid stage called gametophyte into a MULTICELLULAR diploid stage called sporophyte.
Is gametophyte and sporophyte structures or life cycle stages?
Stages.
What does the gametophyte stage produce?
Gametes
What are the gametes called in a seedless plant lifecycle?
Female archegonia (egg)
Male antheridia (sperm)
Explain the gamete cellular structure
Both are single celled haploid
