Document Summary

Haploid (1x) - cell with one set of chromosomes: gametes. Diploid (2x) - cell with two sets of chromosomes: zygote. Polyploid - cell with more than two sets of chromosomes: triploid (3x) - three sets of chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes cannot pair properly, thus gametes typically inviable. Navel oranges, seedless watermelons: hexaploid (6x) - six sets of chromosomes. Alternation of generations - life cycle involving sexual reproduction that alternates between diploid sporophyte phase and haploid gametophyte phase: sporophytes develop from zygotes and produce sporocytes. Sporocyte undergoes meiosis - produces 4 haploid spores. Life cycle of a cell; two phases; haploid & diploid. Haploid = gametophyte generation & diploid = sporophyte generation. L14 cyanobacteria & algae: gametophytes develop from spores. Form cells or sexual structures in which gametes are formed by mitosis: fertilization produces zygote. Alternation of generations - the basic plan can be seen in the: Plant kingdoms: it becomes most conspicuous, however, in the plant kingdom.
