Non-Vascular Plants:
Land plants are thought to have evolved from green algae in the following sequence
1. bryophytes,
2. seedless vascular plants,
3. gymnosperms,
4. angiosperms.
Plants go through an alternation of generations in their life cycle, having both a diploid
and a haploid phase.
The diploid phase of the life-cycle is called the sporophyte
The sporophyte produces spores instead of gametes.
A spore divides and becomes a multicellular, haploid, gametophyte.
The gametophyte produces sperm and egg, which combine to form a multicellular
sporophyte.
Bryophytes and some vascular plants reproduce by releasing spores.
Seed-bearing vascular plants produce seeds and pollen.
Pollen is an adaptation that allows land plants to produce sperm that does not dry up,and
does not require water to travel to an egg.
Seeds are immature sporophytes with a waterproof covering.
Many seeds are adapted with a means of dispersal and allow the embryo to survive harsh
conditions.
Bryophytes are non-vascular plants that include:
1. the mosses
2. liverworts
3. Hornworts
The gametophyte stage predominates in the life cycle of bryophytes.
Bryophytes have adapted reproductively to terrestrial environments by evolving
sporophyte structures that prevent their eggs and sperm from drying out.
