Plant Life Cycle II

Flowering plants (angiosperms) and cone-bearing plants (gymnosperms) have more advanced life cycles compared to algae, bryophytes, and ferns. These seed-producing plants still go through alternation of generations, but their sporophyte stage is the dominant and visible part o...

Transcript

Seeded plants, like angiosperms and gymnosperms, have a special way of reproducing called alternation of generations.

In seeded plants, the sporophyte, the full-grown plant you see, is the dominant stage, making it the most visible and long-lasting part of the plant's life cycle.

The sporophyte produces spores, but instead of growing...
