compare and contrast the alternation of generations of bryophytes and angiosperm

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The alternation of generations in bryophytes and angiosperms involves distinct differences in their life cycles. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Dominant Generation: In bryophytes, the gametophyte (haploid) is the dominant generation, whereas in angiosperms, the sporophyte (diploid) is dominant. ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Sporophyte Dependency: Bryophyte sporophytes are dependent on the gametophyte for nutrition, while angiosperm sporophytes are independent and photosynthetic. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Gametophyte Size: Bryophyte gametophytes are larger and more conspicuous, whereas angiosperm gametophytes are reduced and often microscopic. ‖ ‖ d ⋮ Fertilization: Bryophytes require water for sperm to swim to the egg, while angiosperms use pollen tubes to deliver sperm to the egg, allowing fertilization without water. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Dominant generation and dependency in life cycles ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ Bryophytes have a dominant gametophyte stage and dependent sporophyte, while angiosperms have a dominant sporophyte stage and reduced gametophyte. ⚹◊How do the reproductive structures differ between bryophytes and angiosperms during their alternation of generations?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
