The haploid generation of plants which produce eggs and sperm

haploid life form of a sexually reproducing plant. May be the dominant life form as in moss or very reduced as in angiosperms (flowering plants). In flowering plants the female form (egg sac) is known as a megagametophyte and the male form (pollen) is called a microgametophyte.

A phase in the life history of a plant that arises from a haploid spore resulting from meiosis in a diploid sporophyte; plants have haploid nuclei during the gametophyte phase.

a life cycle stage in certain algae that produces male and female reproductive organs

The leafy moss plant or the generation producing male and female sex-cells - all the plant except the seta and capsule.

the haploid stage of a plant (see sporophyte)

The sexual generation of plants.

n. (Gr. gamete, a wife; phyton, plant) the gamete-forming haploid phase in the alternation of plant generations.

The multicellular haploid form in organisms undergoing alternation of generations, which mitotically produces haploid gametes that unite and grow into the sporophyte generation.

The haploid form of a life cycle characterized by alternation of generations. (More? Week 1 Notes)

A haploid plant or plant structure that produces haploid gametes through mitosis.

(ga meet´ oh fyte) • In plants and photosynthetic protists with alternation of generations, the haploid phase that produces the gametes. (Contrast with sporophyte.)

This is a plant specialised for producing gametes in those species that practise alternation of generations (such as mosses and liverworts). The gametophyte has only the haploid number of chromosomes (half that of the spermatophyte generation) and produces gametes by normal cell division. Generally the female gametes are held in special structures called archegonia, and the male gametes have long flagella that they use to swim through a film of water on the top of the plant to reach the female cells.

A plant in the haploid stage that produces gametes.

a gamete bearing spore in plants

The generation which has n chromosomes and produces gametes as reproductive bodies.

the phase of the life history that produces gametes.

The haploid (n) gamete-producing phase of the life cycle of an organism that exhibits Alternation of Generations.

Gamete producing structure developed from a spore. Also referred to as a prothallus.

gam-EET-o-fite Haploid stage of the plant life cycle. 192

the haploid phase (n=1) of a life cycle on which gametes are produced

haploid stage of a life cycle (c.f. sporophyte)

The haploid stage in the life cycle of a plant, in species that show alternation of generations, that produces the gametes.

The multicellular haploid phase in the lifecycle of organisms with zygotic or sporic meiosis life cycles. Gametophytes produce gametes via mitosis in structures called gametangia. Unisexual male and female gametophytes may be referred to as microgametophytes and megagametophytes, respectively. See also sporophyte. The gametophyte is the dominant stage in the life cycles of liverworts, mosses, and hornworts.

The part of the life cycle of plants having haploid nuclei and giving rise to the sex cells that on fusing produce a diploid stage, usually the sporophyte.

The haploid stage of a plant exhibiting alternation of generations, generates gametes by the process of mitosis.

a plant or generation that bears gametes during the sexual life cycle.

gamete producing plant.

That part of the plant which bears the gametes or sexual cell

a plant, or phase of a plant's life cycle, that bears gametes.

The haploid (n) gamete producing gernerat (plants have alternating haploid and diploid generations).

The individual or generation of a plant exhibiting alternation of generations that bears sex organs (compare " Sporophyte").

The haploid stage in the life cycle of an organism undergoing alternations of generations. The gametophyte is multicellular and mitotically produces gametes. In plants, the gametophyte nourishes the zygote and young sporophyte.

the haploid sexual phase of a plant, which exhibits an alternation of generations, from which gametes are produced, usually by mitotic division; the haploid gametophyte is typically formed by meiotic division of a diploid sporo-phyte

In the reproductive cycle of ferns, a self-sustaining, independent plant, developing out of the growing spore. Green, heart shaped, ½" or less in diameter, and lying flat upon the ground it little resembles a fern, when noticed at all. The Gametophtye grows Antheridia(male organs) and Archegonia (female organs) on its underside which produce the spermatazoids and eggs that combine and grow into what we think of as a fern. Also known as Prothallium.

The haploid gamete-producing stage in the life cycle of plants; prominent and independent in some species but reduced or parasitic in others.
