Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The life cycle of almost all eukaryotes share a common pattern such as haploid cell fusion resulting in a diploid cell with new combinations, a meiotic division that recreates haploid cell and mitotic cell division that result in the growth of multicellular bodies or in asexual reproduction.

Students have asked these similar questions
The plant sexual life cycle is called______ .The diploid generation is called the_______ . Reproductive cells in this stage of the cycle produce spores through________ (type of cell division). The spores germinate to produce the haploid generation, called the________.
All land plants undergo the process of alternation of generations. During this process, individuals will have a multicellular haploid
phase called the ________. These produce ________ through ________.
gametophyte, zygotes, mitosis
oooo
sporophyte, zygotes, meiosis
gametophyte, gametes, mitosis
sporophyte, spores, meiosis
In animals, meiosis produces gametes (sperm cells and egg cells), but that does not happen in plants. When some of the cells of a sporophyte undergo meiosis, what types of cells are produced? What do they grow into?

- Use the following information to answer the next question. The life cycles of some plants contains two alternating generations of adults. The diploid adult is called the sporophyte generation and the haploid adult is the gametophyte generation. The diploid plants of the sporophyte generations produce spores by the process of O amitosis O meiosis O mitosis O binary fissionarrow_forwardThis is for plant biologyarrow_forwardDouble fertilization in flowering plants occurs when one sperm cell fuses with an egg to form a diploid cell, the ______, and a second sperm fuses with the two nucleiof the central cell of the female gametophyte. This triploid cell will divide mitotically to form a food-storage tissue called the_______ . This food is transferred to the developing plant embryo by structures called_______ .arrow_forward
