Question

Describe the morphology and anatomy of anthoceros sporophyte with diagram.

Answer 1

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:-

***********************************

Alternation of Generation:

The life cycle of Anthoceros show regular alternation of two morphologically distinct phases. One of these generations is haplophase and the other is diplophase.

Haplophase or gametophytic phase:

In Anthoceros this phase is dominant and produces the sex organs. Sex organs produce gametes to form a diploid zygote.

Diploid phase of sporophytic phase:

Zygote develops into sporophyte. In Anthoceros sporophyte is represented by foot, meristematic zone and capsule. The sporophyte produces the spores in the capsule. The spores on germination produce the gametophyte.

So, in Anthoceros, two morphologically distinct phases (haplophase and diplophase) constitute the life cycle. The life cycle of this type which is characterised by alternation of generation and sporogenic meiosis is known as heteromorphic and diplohaplontic
