Plant Groups Reproduction pathway
Bryophytes (Moss) 1. The leafy green part of a moss is the gametophyte.
2. It supports a sporophyte (stalk and capsule).
3. Spores form by meiosis in the capsule, are released, and drift with the
winds.
4. Spores develop into gametophytes that produce eggs or sperm in
gametangia at their tips.
5. Sperm released from tips of sperm-producing gametophytes swim
through water to eggs at tips of egg-producing gametophytes.
6. Fertilization produces a zygote.
7. The zygote grows and develops into a sporophyte while remaining
attached to and nourished by its egg-producing parent.
Seedless vascular Plants (Fern) 1. The familiar leafy form is the diploid sporophyte.
2. Meiosis in cells on the underside of fronds produces haploid spores.
3. After their release, the spores germinate and grow into tiny
gametophytes that produce eggs and sperm.
4. Sperm swim to eggs and fertilize them, forming a zygote.
5. The sporophyte begins its development attached to the gametophyte,
but it continues to grow and live independently after the gametophyte
dies.
10
Gymnosperm 2. Inside the ovule, a megaspore forms by meiosis and develops into a female
gametophyte.
3. Male cones hold pollen sacs.
4. Where microspores form and develop into pollen grains.
5. The pollen grains are released and drift with the winds. Pollination occurs
when one lands on an ovule
6. The pollen grain germinates: Some cells develop into a pollen tube that grows
through the ovule tissue and delivers sperm to the egg.
7. Pollen tube growth is an astonishingly leisurely process. It typically takes
about a year for the tube to grow through the ovule tissue to the egg. When
fertilization finally occurs, it produces a zygote.
8. Over about six months, the zygote develops into an embryo sporophyte that,
along with tissues of the ovule, becomes a seed
9. The seed is released, germinates, then grows and develops into a new
sporophyte.
11
Angiosperm 1. A sporophyte dominates this life cycle.
2. Pollen forms inside pollen sacs of stamens.
3. Eggs develop in an ovule within an ovary.
4. Pollination occurs and a tube grows from the pollen grain into the ovule,
delivering two sperm.
5. Double fertilization occurs in all flowering plant life cycles. One sperm
fertilizes the haploid egg. The other fertilizes a diploid cell, yielding a triploid
cell that divides to form endosperm, a tissue that nourishes the embryo
sporophyte.
6. The resulting seed will grow into a new sporophyte.
