multicellular haploid form‚ the gametophyte. <br> <br>Meiosis in mosses produces haploid spores. This process occurs in a sporangium‚ a capsule in fungi and plants in which meiosis takes place and haploid spores develop. After fertilization‚ the sporophyte zygote grows out of the parent gametophyte. At the end of this stalk is the sporangium. Meiosis occurs and the haploid spores disperse. In ferns‚ the mature sporophyte (2N) has small spots on the undersides of its leaves. These are clusters of the Pterophyte

create a zygote. This zygote must then undergo cleavage. In humans‚ cleavage occurs about 24 hours after the forming of a zygote. Cleavage is a succession of mitotic cell divisions without cell growth between division cycles. There is close to no cell growth because during cleavage‚ the embryonic cells undergo the S and M phases of the cell cycle but practically avoid the G1 and G2 phases. Thus‚ the embryo does not increase in cytoplasmic material or enlarge but merely partitions its zygote into smaller

sporophyte (thallus or plant)‚ which is genetically diploid. A haploid plant of the gametophyte generation produces gametes by mitosis. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) combine to produce a zygote‚ which develops into a diploid plant of the sporophyte generation. This sporophyte produces spores by meiosis‚ which germinate and develop into a gametophyte of the next generation. This cycle‚ from gametophyte to gametophyte‚ is the way in which

Meghan Veach Bio. 101 Dr. Davis April 28‚ 2014 Chapter 18 - Evolution of Plants and Fungi Plants have been around for over 500 million years‚ the plants all differ so much but they also have many similarities among themselves and also to green algae. Some scholars even think that plants paved the way for land animals by simultaneously increasing the amount of oxygen in the Earth ’s atmosphere and decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide. Evolutionist believe that plants evolved from green

deprives the zygote from any future life. In The Journal of Philosophy‚ Don Marquis argues in his essay‚ “Why Abortion is Immoral” that abortion is wrong because it deprives the fetus of a ‘future like ours’. I agree with his claim‚ but feel his overall argument is weak because of word fetus and the statement ‘future like ours’. His use of the word fetus was told to represent all stages of pregnancy‚ since that was not his debate. However in my argument the word zygote will be used

The zygote cell is the first stage of the embryo. The zygote contains DNA from both parents which create a unique new identity that has never existed. That is the start of a baby‚ therefore a pregnancy is not just the woman and her body; new life has already begun since the zygote has the four criteria needed to establish biological life which include growth‚ metabolism‚ reaction to a stimuli

Q: Describe the three types of fungi reproduction. A: (See below) 1. Fragmentation of the hyphae or mycelium. (Asexual) 2. Formation of conidiospores or sporangiospores. (Asexual) 3. Formation of gametes‚ which fuse to produce diploid zygotes. The zygotes undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores that grow back into the fungal hyphae. Q: List the types of specialized hyphae. A: Sporangiophores‚ rhizoids‚ and stolons. Q: How do most fungi reproduce? What are the mating types called?
