| 1. | Unlike plants at the bryophyte grade, their sporophytes were branched.
|
| 2. | The species has a chromosome number of 116 in the sporophyte.
|
| 3. | The sporophyte is triploid and has a chromosome number of 108.
|
| 4. | Mosses are commonly confused with lichens, diploid sporophyte generation is dominant.
|
| 5. | It is in the diploid sporophyte that vascular tissue develops.
|
| 6. | The sporophyte develops a long stalk ending in an elongated spore capsule.
|
| 7. | Mature sporophytes develop from within a large perianth with three distal folds.
|
| 8. | The fertilized egg when develop into the sporophyte by mitosis.
|
| 9. | Two gametes fuse to form a zygote which develops into a new sporophyte.
|
| 10. | The relationship between the sporophyte and gametophyte varies among different groups of plants.
