In this article we will discuss about the process of reproduction with the help of diagrams. Funaria is monoecious and protandrous. A young plant to begin with produces antheridia at its apex (Fig. 4.1 A) and on a branch appear archegonia. Towards maturity, the branch bearing a developing sporophyte (Fig. 4.1G) tends to dominate and […]

In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of bryophytes with the help of diagrams. The life cycle of a bryophyte involves an alternation of generations—the gametophyte and sporophyte, which are different in morphology (heteromorphic) and differ in their level of ploidy (heteroploid). The gametophyte or gamete-producing generation is distinct in its morphology […]
