sporophyte. The other form is haploid with only one set of chromosomes: the gametophyte. Both forms are multicellular. In sexual reproduction, organisms have...

grows into a leafy gametophyte. This gametophyte is either male or female. Male gametophytes make haploid sperm. Female gametophytes make haploid eggs...

through a cycle with a haploid gametophyte alternating with a diploid sporophyte. In the case of flowering plants the gametophyte stage is very small and brief...

the gametophyte. Like all bryophytes, hornworts have alternation of generations. In this cycle, the plant has two forms: the haploid gametophyte and diploid...

the green fuzzy part of the moss called the gametophyte. Male gametophyte make sperm. Female gametophyte make eggs. Water moves the sperm from the male...

actually haploid male gametophytes. This is to do with alternation of generations. All plants go through a cycle with a haploid gametophyte alternating with...

the sporophyte and a female gametophyte have been found as fossils. The sporophyte was about 20 cm tall, and the gametophyte was about 6 cm tall. It is...

of seed plants are single cells that grow into a pollen grain or the gametophyte inside the ovule. The structure of seeds in higher plants is more complicated...

11646/phytotaxa.19.1.2. In non-vascular plants, the principal generation phase is often the gametophyte, which is haploid with one set of chromosomes per cell....

fertilization and seed dispersal. The stamens and the male and female gametophytes have been adapted in many ways to suit particular pollinators. The smaller...

The name was then transferred to the whole group. Liverworts have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle. This means that most parts of them only have one...

is diploid, and produces the spores. The spores produce the haploid gametophyte generation. Eichhorn, Evert, and Raven 2005. Biology of plants, 7th ed...

Cross section of an ovule of a pine tree. A=Gametophyte, B=Egg cell, C=Micropyle, D=Integument, E=Sporangium...
