When and where does reduction division (meiosis) take place in the life cycle of a liverwort,a moss,a fern,a gymnosperm,and an angiosperm?
(N/A) Liverwort: The main plant body is haploid (gametophytic). Reduction division occurs in the capsule of the sporophyte to produce haploid spores.
Moss: The main plant body is gametophytic. Reduction division occurs in the capsule of the sporophyte to produce haploid spores.
Fern: The main plant body is sporophytic. Reduction division occurs in the sporangia located on the sporophylls to produce haploid spores.
Gymnosperm: The main plant body is sporophytic. Reduction division occurs in the microsporangia (producing pollen grains) and megasporangia (producing megaspores) located on the sporophylls.
Angiosperm: The main plant body is sporophytic. Reduction division occurs in the anthers (producing microspores/pollen grains) and in the ovules within the ovary (producing megaspores).
Moss: The main plant body is gametophytic. Reduction division occurs in the capsule of the sporophyte to produce haploid spores.
Fern: The main plant body is sporophytic. Reduction division occurs in the sporangia located on the sporophylls to produce haploid spores.
Gymnosperm: The main plant body is sporophytic. Reduction division occurs in the microsporangia (producing pollen grains) and megasporangia (producing megaspores) located on the sporophylls.
Angiosperm: The main plant body is sporophytic. Reduction division occurs in the anthers (producing microspores/pollen grains) and in the ovules within the ovary (producing megaspores).
