### plant:

Sporophyte
* Most sporophytes grow on tops.
* Most sporophytes have growth
  - indeterminate growth
  - simple structures
  - stomata
* Most sporophytes produce asexual spores
  - chlorophyll
  - diploid spores
  - flowers
  - haploid spores
  - motile spores
  - single sporangiums
* Some sporophytes become gametophytes
  - contain chlorophyll
  - develop within archegoniums
  - grow from meristems
* Some sporophytes have appearances
  - characteristics
  - copies
* Some sporophytes produce gametophytes
  - haploid gametophytes
  - microscopic gametophytes
  - seeds
  - rely on gametophytes
  - survive death
* appear early in the spring, as soon as the snow melts.
* are branched structures that produce large numbers of spores in multiple sporangia
  - deeply immersed, a capsules are peristomate, and the upper leaf is bistratose
  - diploid and produce haploid spores by meiosis
  - either heterothallic or homothallic depending on species
  - generally smaller and depend on the gametophyte for water and nutrients
  - more obvious than in liverworts, due to their usually elongate setae
  - multicellular organisms
  - smaller and are present only part of the time
* are the dominant parts of the life cycle in advanced plants
  - multicellular diploid stage and produce spores by meiosis
  - very frequent and abundant
* can survive much longer than gametophytes.
* consist of compounds.
* consists of evenly forking green stems without roots or true leaves.
* contain spores.
* diploid plant that can produce spore.
* disperse spores.
* form two types of sporangia.
  - well under normal greenhouse day-night conditions
* grows on the gametophyte
  - out of archegonia
  - spores on fronds
* has sporangium at the tip, spore mother cells undergo meiosis and produce haploid spores
  - vascular tissue, differentiated roots, stems, and leaves
  - several means of reproducing themselves asexually
  - stalks
* includes cell membranes
  - corpi
  - cytoplasm
  - nuclei
  - plant parts
  - plasma membranes
  - sections
  - vacuoles
* is dominant and independent from gametophyte
  - embedded in gametophyte
  - very small in liverworts
* make spores and the cycle continues.
* possesses stoma.
* produce haploid spores through meiosis
  - tiny structures called spores through a process of cell division called meiosis
  - unilocular sporangia with a sporocyte
* produces spores that grow into heart-shaped structure called gametophyte
  - unicellular haploid spores by meiosis
* release spores.
* spherical structure which grows parasitic on the gametophytic plant body.
* then appear as black dots along the grooves.

### plant | sporophyte:

Diploid sporophyte
* Most diploid sporophytes have simple structures
* Most diploid sporophytes produce diploid spores
* Some diploid sporophytes have copies.

Mature sporophyte
* Most mature sporophytes produce flowers
* are usually much larger, much taller, and longer-lived than gametophytes.
* is brown, doesn t photosynthesize and depends on gametophyte for food.

Young sporophyte
* Most young sporophytes have roots.
* Some young sporophytes become gametophytes.
* appear in the spring and grow rapidly.

### plant:

Squash plant
* All squash plants require warm soil and air temperatures for successful germination and fruit set.
* Most squash plants have female flowers
  - take roots
* are easy to grow and produce abundantly over a long season
  - heavy feeders
  - monoecious, having male and female flowers on the same plant
  - shallow- rooted and require ample soil moisture at all stages of growth
  - vines
* have both male and female flowers on the same plant
  - separate male and female flowers on the same plant

Strawberry plant
* Many strawberry plants do best in a cool, moist climate.
* Most strawberry plants have stolons
  - produce plants
* Some strawberry plants produce berries.
