Definition of Sporophyte. Meaning of Sporophyte. Synonyms of Sporophyte

- A sporophyte (/ˈspɔːr.əˌfaɪt/) is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga which produces a****ual spores. This stage alternates...
- gametophyte – alternates with a diploid a****ual phase – the sporophyte. A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis, a process which reduces...
- water and nutrients, and in having life cycles in which the branched sporophyte is the dominant phase. Ferns have complex leaves called megaphylls that...
- produced by the sporophyte's stamens, and the female gametophytes develop within ovules produced by the sporophyte's carpels. The sporophyte generation of...
- multicellular organism, the second stage in the life cycle known as the sporophyte. The sporophyte can produce haploid spores by meiosis that on germination produce...
- unicellular and are produced by meiosis in the sporangium of a diploid sporophyte. In some rare cases, diploid spore is also produced in some algae, or...
- diploid phase or generation. In plants, the diploid phase, known as the sporophyte, produces spores by meiosis. These spores then germinate and divide by...
- cycles are dominated by a multicellular haploid gametophyte stage Their sporophytes are diploid and unbranched They do not have a true vascular tissue containing...
- lifecycles involving alternation of generations. One generation, the sporophyte, gives rise to the next generation, the gametophyte a****ually via spores...
- vascular plants. Mosses do not have seeds and after fertilisation develop sporophytes with unbranched stalks topped with single capsules containing spores...
