    Study Notes

    • Bryophytes are a group of non-vascular plants that are found in regions with high annual rainfall.
    • Mosses are the most familiar bryophytes.
    • Bryophytes have distinct alternation of generations: gametophytes are the most conspicuous, occupies a greater proportion of the life cycle, and is therefore the dominant phase of life. sporophytes are typically smaller and exist only for a short period in the life cycle. sporophytes are attached and are dependent to gametophytes for its nutrition. They produce spores in a spore capsule. Bryophytes lack branched sporophytes bearing multiple sporangia.
    • Bryophytes lack vascular tissue, true leaves, and roots, and are restricted in upward growth due to this lack of support.
    • Bryophytes are distinguished from other plants by their gametophyte, which is anchored by rhizoids.
    • Bryophytes have a morphology that includes a plant surface that lacks a cuticle and a body that can be a thallus or differentiated into simple leaves and stems.
    • Sporophytes are the dominant stage of life for bryophytes, and the sporangium is where spores are produced.
    • Anthocerotophytes, hornworts, and Anthoceros are all plants that have a gametophyte as their dominant stage of life.
    • Liverworts are a group of plants that lack vascular tissue and a prominence of gametophyte in their life cycle.
    • Liverworts are typically small, however certain species may cover large patches of ground.
    • Their 'leaves' are divided into 2/ 3 parts called lobes and their 'leaves' are arranged in three ranks along the stem.
    • For thalloid liverworts, the body is a flat thallus with no stem or leaves.
    • Liverworts are morphologically simpler than mosses and have a more often found on very damp and shady habitats.
    • Liverworts typically have two generations a year, the sporophyte being larger, more complex, and dominant.
    • Ferns are a group of plants that possess true roots, stems, and leaves. They produce spores and can live for many years.
    • The gametophyte generation is made up of two parts: the sporophyte and the sporophyte mother cell.
    • The sporophyte is a thin, heart-shaped cell that is photosynthetic.
    • The sporophyte mother cell divides by meiosis to produce haploid spores.
    • Sporophytes are only found in damp conditions and are susceptible to desiccation.
    • Sporophytes produce spores by clustering together and producing sori on the undersides of pinnules.
    • Sporophytes undergo asexual reproduction by producing spores.
