Document Summary

The plant life cycle has alternating diploid and haploid phases. Both phases are multicellular and sometimes free-living. Diploid: (cid:1006)n (cid:894)t(cid:449)o sets of (cid:272)hro(cid:373)oso(cid:373)es i(cid:374) (cid:272)ells" dna(cid:895) Haploid: n (cid:894)o(cid:374)e set of (cid:272)hro(cid:373)oso(cid:373)es i(cid:374) (cid:272)ells" dna(cid:895) The haploid plant phase is the gametophyte. Sperm must swim to reach the archegonia for fertilization. Mature gametophytes bear only the appropriate sex organs. The diploid plant phase is the sporophyte. Develops from an embryo that develops from a zygote. Spores are haploid and develop by meiosis. Some plants have spores of two sexes: Small in size, lack vascular tissues, roots, stems, and leaves. The gametophyte is the most conspicuous part. Rely on moist environments to survive and reproduce. Mosses grow in clumps or mats in moist, shady conditions. Can form peat in bogs, store huge amounts of water. Liverworts can be flat and lobed, or leafy in shape. Anchored by root-like rhizoids that absorb soil nutrients.
