Document Summary

Lecture 15: the non-vascular plants ( embryophytes ) feb 2 2018. All land plants develop from embryos what strategies allowed plants to live on land? what vegetative and reproductive innovations? diploid organism makes haploid gametes by meiosis. But not all gametes are made by meiosis! Gametes fuse together to make a zygote, this is why gametes must be haploid in haplontic life cycle seen in some algae and fungus, the haploid organism makes gametes by mitosis. Then, the two gametes fuse and become diploid. Spore can divide and make a multicellular organism. A gamete never divides how to spores arise? a mature haploid organism vs a mature diploid organism. Land plants: alteration of generations multicellular haploids and diploids. Diploids have two copies of every gene, so if something happens to one copy its okay because you still have a good copy. In haploids, deleterious mutations can die off quickly. Life cycle includes multicellular gametophytes and multicellular sporophytes.
