BIO 203 Lecture Notes - Sporophyte, Gametophyte, Zygote
Document Summary
For the coniferophyta, the gametophyte is haploid, and the sporophyte is diploid (libratext, 2022). The same goes for the pterophyta where the sporophyte has two sets of chromosomes, and the gametophyte has one set of chromosomes (rauschert, gibbson, and gore panter 2021). Bryophyta and the hepatophyta also are the same. Bryophyta has a diploid sporophyte and a haploid gametophyte. Starting with the hepatophyta gametophytes, the magnification is 100 times. For the hepatophyta sporophyte, the magnification was 40 times (plant. From this, we can determine that the gametophyte is a quarter or the size of the sporophyte. This means that the hepatophyta gametophyte is smaller than the sporophyte. The same thing applies to the pterophyta gametophyte. Seeing the magnification of a gametophyte for the. Pterophyta is set to 100 times magnification, while the sporophyte is set to 40 times magnification (plant. The gametophyte is the size of the sporophyte, meaning that the sporophyte is larger.
