Which of the following comparisons between the moss life cycle and fern life cycle are correct? A) Mosses have flagellated sperm that need water to reach the female gamete, while the sperm of ferns are unflagellated and are not dependent on water.B) The sporophyte generation is smaller than the gametophyte generation in mosses, but the sporophyte generation is much larger than the gametophyte generation in ferns.C) The spores are produced in capsules on stalks in mosses but in small structures called sori on the underside of leaves in ferns.D) The gametes are produced in gametangia in mosses but in specialized structures on the underside of leaves in ferns.E) Both kinds of plants depend on wind for dispersal of spores.
Early botanists admired ferns but found their life cycle perplexing. In the 1700s, they learned to propagate ferns by sowing what appeared to be tiny dust like “seeds” that they collected from the undersides of fronds. Despite many attempts, the botanists could not locate the pollen source, which they assumed must stimulate these “seeds” to develop. Imagine you could write to these botanists. Compose a note that explains the fern life cycle and clears up their confusion.
The alteration of generations comes from the fact that the sporophyte generation and gametophyte generation occur alternately. True False The gametophytes of mosses are much smaller than their sporophytes. True False Gametophytes develop into gametes and sporophytes develop into spores. True False
