Summary Introduction

To determine:

The similarities and differences between the spores of ferns and the seeds of higher plants.

Introduction:

Ferns are seedless vascular plants, which are reproduced by the production of several types of spores. They do not make fruits, and live in a dark and moist climate. Ferns are examples of pteridophytes.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The proportion of fern spores that would be likely to survive long enough for the reproduction.

Introduction:

Ferns belong to the category of seedless vascular plants and are able to undergo the process of reproduction by the production of several types of spores. They are unable to make fruits, and live in dark and moist climate of colder regions. Ferns are examples of pteridophytes.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The factors that decide whether a spore will produce a new fern plant.

Introduction:

The members of ferns are reproduced by various types of spores and possess vascular system. They do not make fruits, and live in a dark and moist climate. Ferns are examples of pteridophytes.

Draw a simple diagram illustrating alternation of generations in plants, including the sporophyte and gametophyte generations, spores, gametes (eggs and sperm), meiosis, and fertilization. Be sure to indicate whether each generation or kind of cell is haploid or diploid.
What is a sporophyte? A diploid plant that undergoes meiosis A haploid plant that produces gametes via meiosis A diploid plant that produces gametes via mitosis A haploid plant that undergoes mitosis
When the Ascomycetes fungus reproduces sexually, mating type A fungi cross fertilize mating type a fungi. The resulting zygotes undergo meiotic and then mitotic division to produce asci with eight ascospores. The ascospores in the asci are ordered and reflect the position of the parental nuclei in the zygote. Use the passage to answer the question. Based on the diagram, how many unique ascospores are produced in each ascus resulting from the cross fertilization of two Ascomycetes fungi?   A. 1 B. 2 C. 4 D. 8
