Definition Definition Group of plant species that utilize spores, instead of flowers or seeds, for sexual reproduction. Bryophytes reproduce asexually through fragmentation or by the production of gemmae. Non-vascular seedless plants, which include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are classified as bryophytes.

Byrophytes are usually found in areas that are very wet or damp at least part of the year. Which of the following statements describes characteristics of byrophytes that make them dependent on water? State all that numbers that apply. 1. They have a dominant gametophyte phase. 2. They have swimming sperm that need water so they can swim to fertilize the eggs of other nearby plants. 3. They do not have lignin-stiffened vascular tissue or roots to effectively distribute water throughout the plant.
1. What are the morphological difference between liverworts and mosses? 2. Bryophytes only thrives in moist habitats, why is this so? How can you relate their structures to the habitat they have? 3. Bryophytes has stem-like, leaf-like and root-like structures (especially true to mosses), why is this so? What do you think is the reason why those structures are not considered true stems, roots, and leaf?

Explain the life cycle of a fern. Begin with the dominant portion of their life cycle and work your way through the rest including specific names of structures, types of cell division used, and nuclear conditions. Along with your explanation (paragraphs, bulleted points, etc.), I would like for you to discuss in a few sentences how this life cycle is more advanced than a typical moss’s life cycle and, in a few sentences, how it is not quite as advanced as a typical pine’s life cycle.
Which of the following comparisons between the moss life cycle and fern life cycle are correct? A) Mosses have flagellated sperm that need water to reach the female gamete, while the sperm of ferns are unflagellated and are not dependent on water.B) The sporophyte generation is smaller than the gametophyte generation in mosses, but the sporophyte generation is much larger than the gametophyte generation in ferns.C) The spores are produced in capsules on stalks in mosses but in small structures called sori on the underside of leaves in ferns.D) The gametes are produced in gametangia in mosses but in specialized structures on the underside of leaves in ferns.E) Both kinds of plants depend on wind for dispersal of spores.
