Answer:

The gametophyte produces the haploid gametes

Explanation:

Ferns are a group of lower plants that also undergo the ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS in their reproductive life cycle. The plant consists of the SPOROPHYTE and GAMETOPHYTE. The sporophyte is a diploid plant body that produces the haploid spores via meiosis. These spores are released on the sporangium and grow into a haploid GAMETOPHYTE.

The gametophyte produces the haploid GAMETES i.e. male gametophyte (antheridium) produces sperm while female gametophyte (archegonium) produces eggs, which undergo fertilization to produce a diploid zygote that develops into the sporophyte. The cycle begins again.

vfiekz [6]

The correct answers are: The lipid bilayer and proteins exist side by side without covalent bonds between them and  Some proteins and lipids undergo lateral diffusion along the inner or outer surface of the membrane

According to fluid mosaic model, there is a lipid bilayer that gives fluidity and in which the protein molecules are embedded.  

The membrane is mosaic because there is a pattern of different types of molecules that are put together. Molecules are constantly moving in two dimensions.

Components of the cell membrane include:

• Phospholipids – Form a bilayer  

• Cholesterol –improves stability and reduce fluidity

• Proteins –integral (transmembrane) or peripheral  

• Sugars-usually attached to proteins.

If pregnancy among women does not occur, then menstruation occurs. The menstrual cycle usually lasts about 28 days.

<h3>What do women experience during their menstrual period? </h3>

During menstruation, women may experience abdominal cramps, headaches, backache, and nausea.

The stage in which a woman is most fertile is called Ovulation. During this step, an egg is released from the follicle in the ovaries.

If a fertilized egg successfully embeds itself in the uterine lining, then the woman becomes pregnant.

If the fertilized egg does not manage to embed in the uterine lining, then menstruation will occur.

The two main hormones that control the menstrual cycle are estrogen and progesterone. If the egg is not fertilized, then progesterone levels drop.

The estrogen needs to stop FSH to be produced to make sure only one egg matures in the cycle.
