Moss Life Cycle
2
Alternation of generations
Zygote created from egg & sperm
3
Alternation of generations
Zygote divides by mitosis to create adult sporophyte
4
Alternation of generations
Haploid spores created by meiosis
5
Alternation of generations
Haploid spores released into air
6
Alternation of generations
Spore grows into male or female gametophyte Female gametophyte creates eggs Male gametophyte creates sperm
7
Alternation of generations
Sperm & egg create diploid zygote
8
Alternation of generations
Cycle repeats

Group 1: Seedless, Nonvascular Plants
Most primitive of plants Live in moist environments Swimming sperm Examples: Liverworts Hornworts Mosses
10
Mosses Because nonvascular: Grow low to ground Lack true leaves
Water transported by simple diffusion Lack true leaves only 1 cell thick Rhizoids anchor into soil Early inhabitant of new ecosystems (succession)

Moss Life Cycle
27
Place the steps of the moss life cycle in order, from the step started for you:
__ 1___ Spores land. _______ Diploid sporophyte will grow from zygote. _______ Through water, sperm swim from antheridium (male gametophyte) to archegonium (female gametophyte). _______ Moss gametophytes grow near the ground. _______ Sporophyte will create and release spores. _______ Fertilization occurs.
28
Review Label the parts of the diagram.
Using the picture answer the following: Where are spores created? Name the haploid stage. Which grows from the zygote? How are the antheridia and archegonia different? Similar? Meiosis begins which stage of plants? Fertilization begins which stage of plants? How are haploid spores created?
