Plant Reproduction

Asexual

Organism identical to parent

Sexual

Zygote

Fertilization

Egg / Sperm

Life Cycle

Gametophyte

Spores / Mitosis

Haploid

Fertilization

Sporophyte

Diploid

Some cell meiosis

Continue life cycle

Ferns

nonvascular seedless plants

Leaves called fronds

Grow from underground stem called a rhizome

Spores produced in sori

usually on the underside of fronds

Spores land and grow into a gametophyte plant called a prothallus

Sex cells form in the prothallus

Zygote starts the sporophyte stage

Reproduce asexually when rhizomes form new branches

and are separated from the main plant

Moss

Life cycle that illustrates typical repo in nonvascular seedless plants

The gametophyte stage produces sex cells

The sporophyte stage produces spores

Spores are released and land in appropriate environment, can grow into new gametophyte stage plants

Can reproduce assexually when a piece breaks off during gametophyte and settles.

Seedless Reproduction

Vascular

Has tubelike cells for transports

Nonvascular

Does NOT have tubes for transport

All plants are seedless

Do Not produce seeds

The spores of seedless plants grow into plants that produce sex cells
