GAMETOPHYTE
5
GAMETOPHYTE SHEDDING SPORE COAT
6
MATURE GAMETOPHYTE (HERMAPHRODITIC) Antheridia (male) Archegonia (female) Rhizoids
7
EGG IN ARCHEGONIUM
8
FLAGELLATED SPERM COMING OUT OF ANTHERIDIUM
9
Colonization of Land – Adaptive Radiation Limitations for terrestrial life – Water availability – Dispersal mechanisms – Maintaining genetic diversity Result = great diversity of land plants
10
Vascular Tissue Long tubes: transport water minerals and nutrients. – Phloem: sugars/nutrients from leaves – Xylem: wter and minerals from roots Made of special cells called tracheid cells Tracheophytes
11
Alternation of generations Haploid generation (1n) Gametophyte Haploid gametes fuse to form diploid zygote – Diploid generation (2n) Sporophyte Produce haploid spores through meiosis
12
Moss and Liverwort Life Cycle Gametophyte is dominant form Lack of vascular tissue – Low to the ground Swimming sperm (dependent on water)
13
Fern Life Cycle Sporophyte is dominant form Vascular tissue present – Can grow taller Swimming sperm (dependent on water)
14
Pine Life Cycle Sporophyte is dominant form Vascular tissue present Dispersal ability – Sperm in pollen – Seeds
15
Angiosperm Life Cycle Sporophyte is dominant form Vascular tissue present Flowers – Pollination (dispersal and genetic variability) – Double fertilization
16
