Document Summary

In plant life cycle alternation of between haploid (n) multicellular stage and diploid (2n) multicellular stage. Gametes of plants are not the direct result of meiosis. Haplodiplontic- gametes not direct result of mitotic division. Meiosis produces: haploid spores- undergo further mitosis to produce multicellular haploid stage (gametophyte) Gametophytes- produce haploid gametes by mitotic divisions. Show heterospory 2 types of spore- separate male (microspores/pollen grain) and female gametophytes (megaspores/embryo sac) Two gametes join to form a diploid zygote. Then undergoes mitotic divisions produce diploid life stage (sporophyte) Fuse to form zygote- new embryo in see. Sporophyte generation diploid (rose, actual flowers etc) Female gametophyte few cells inside ovule. 3 at one end antipodal cells. 3 at other end synergids & egg cell functional female gamete. Polar nuclei each one originated at one of the ends. Meiosis halves genetic compliment to haploid stage. The flower is the site of sexual reproduction.
