When you take the food into your mouth and chew on it, your salivary glands secret enzymes called salivary amylase which is responsible for breaking down starch to smaller carbohydrates, like starch. Basically, the process of taking in the nutrient of the food to the body begins by breaking it down to smaller components.
I'm guessing sporophyte. I know mosses are nonvascular (they don't conduct their own food or water). They go through haploid and diploid phases. The haploid phase is most prominent in mosses.

Answer:
The behavior of chromosomes during meiosis and fertilization is responsible for most of the variation that arises each generation during sexual reproduction. Independent assortment of chromosomes contributes to genetic variability due to the random orientation of tetrads at the metaphase plate. or Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote. Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase I .
