Document Summary

The transition to land requires a lot of changes that have obvious/subtle differences. Sporophyte (2n) mitosis spores (n) mitosis gametophyte (n) Gametes (sperm and egg) fertilization zygote (2n) mitosis sporophyte again (2n) Clicker question: spores are different from gametes because gametes are haploid. Clicker question: spores and gametes are produced by the same function. (false, spores produced through meiosis, gametes produced through mitosis) Bryophytes have specialized structures for spore dispersal (sporangia) Spores are haploid cells (n) that grow into gametophytes (n) via mitosis. Each spore has the potential to grow into a new gametophyte. Gametangia = structures where gametes are enclosed. Bryophytes have swimming sperm that are released only when conditions are wet. Clicker question: if bryophytes have swimming sperm, then pollen is flying sperm [not answered] Bryophytes lack the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) found in vascular plants, but have analogous systems. Bryophytes are restricted in size because they lack lignin and an efficient vascular system.
