Document Summary

Alternation of generations: reproduction involving the repeating sequence of a haploid (n) gamete producing generation (gametophyte) with a diploid (2n) spore producing generation (sporophyte). Gametes are produced by mitosis and spores by meiosis. gametophyte---> sporophyte--> gametophyte--> sporophyte-->gametophyte-->sporophyte -->etc. Sporangia a single cell or a mullticells of a protist or plant in which spores are formed. Spore a haploid (1n) reproductive cell produced by plants and protists which develops directly into a new individual. In organisms showing alternation of generations spores may be produced by meiosis from the sporophyte generation and develop into the gametophyte generation. In algae and plants, the spore gives rise to a gametophyte in/on which gametes are produced by mitosis. Sporophyte the diploid (2n) generation (of protists, macroalgae, and plants) that produces haploid spores (n) (in sporangia in which diploid spore-mother- cells undergo meiosis). Gametangia: in protists and plants, a cell or organ which produce the gametes.
