structures and functions of the bryophytes and seedless vascular plants

"Describe the function of the antheridium in bryophytes and seedless vascular plants."

"The antheridium produces and protects sperm."

"Explain the role of the archegonium in plant reproduction."

"The archegonium produces and protects the egg."

"Define the term 'spore' in the context of bryophytes and seedless vascular plants."

"A spore is a reproductive unit that can develop into a gametophyte."

"How do gametes function in the life cycle of bryophytes?"

"Gametes fuse to restore the diploid condition."

"Describe the structure and function of a rhizome."

"A rhizome is an underground stem that anchors the plant."

"What is the purpose of a gemma in bryophytes?"

"A gemma is involved in asexual reproduction and can produce new gametophytes."

"Explain the role of sporangia in the life cycle of seedless vascular plants."

"Sporangia are structures that produce spores."

"Define the term 'strobilus' and its function in plants."

"A strobilus is a structure that produces and releases spores."

"What is a sorus and its significance in the reproductive cycle of ferns?"

"A sorus is a cluster of sporangia that produces spores."

"Identify the type of plant that has gametophyte as a dominant stage."

"Bryophytes have gametophyte as the dominant stage."

"Describe the relationship between sporophyte and gametophyte in the life cycle of ferns."

"The sporophyte is the diploid phase that produces spores, while the gametophyte is the haploid phase that produces gametes."
