Multicellular gametophytes are the product of spores from ____​
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

In bryophytes, the sporophyte is minute and dependent on the relatively prominent and nutritionally independent gametophyte for resources. The moss gametophyte looks like a miniature herb, with tiny leaf-like photosynthetic organs. The gametophyte generation begins as a dormant spore, which germinates under appropriate conditions to produce filamentous and branching protonemal tissues. These form multicellular bud-like structures, each of which develops into a leafy shoot. The mature gametophytes produce male and female sexual organs, the antheridia and archegonia, respectively. The gametophyte is often sexually distinct, and plants are either male or female.

Each antheridium has an outer layer that encloses and protects thousands of motile sperm, which swim through available external water layer to the egg. Fertilization at the base of the cylindrical archegonium produces a diploid zygote which develops into an unbranched sporophyte. The sporophyte consists of a thin stalk attached to the gametophyte, and a capsule that encloses the sporophytic meiotic cells.

In recent years, the mosses Physcomitrella patens and Funaria hygrometrica have emerged as attractive model systems for studying gene function in non-vascular plants because of the relative ease of molecular manipulation by homologous recombination. Mutants affecting gametophyte development have been isolated and their analysis should provide insights into the molecular basis of gametophyte development in mosses.

Which of the following structures in a flower is not directly involved in reproduction?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The correct answer is C. The sepal

Explanation:

Plants reproduction includes different types of sexual and asexual reproduction. In the case of sexual reproduction that implies gametes of different plants being fused through fertilization, this occurs through different structures in flowers which are the reproductive structures in many plants. This includes the pistil that produces ovules and it is considered as the female organ in plants, the style, and stigma that are part of the pistil, the statement that contains pollen or male gametophyte and therefore is considered as the male organ and includes the anther and filament. However, the sepal is not part of this reproductive system as these are structures similar to leaves that are in the base of the flower and protect this before it opens or blossoms.

When a cell is deprived of oxygen, its lysosomes tend to burst and release their contents into the cell. As a result of this, th
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - undergo self-digestion and die.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are cell organelle that is membrane-bound and has digestive enzymes in them. These cell organelle help in digesting cells that are worn out, ruptured cells deprived of oxygen by bursting themselves.

Its bursting nature also helps in digesting and killing antigens and microbes. It is a very essential cell organelle that helps in digesting and killing damage cell parts or cells.
