Source sentences:
text: Study of smaller Cooksonia fossils showed that once the tissue required to support the axes, protect them from desiccation, and transport water had been accounted for, no room remained for photosynthetic tissue, and the sporophyte may therefore have been dependent on the gametophyte.
text: Though the sporophyte contains chlorophyll and does photosynthesize, it still depends heavily on the gametophyte for carbohydrates.
text: The sporophytes of mosses depend on the gametophytes for water and nutrition.
text: In these plants, the sporophytes grow from and are dependent on gametophytes for taking in water and mineral nutrients and for provision of photosynthate, the products of photosynthesis.
text: There is an evolutionary trend from sporophytes that are nutritionally dependent on autotrophic (self-feeding) gametophytes to the opposite—gametophytes that are dependent on autotrophic sporophytes.
text: The sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte.
text: Flagellated sperm and a sporophyte that is dependent on the gametophyte are characteristics of gymnosperm.
text: The sporophyte will be dependent on the gametophyte for a short time, after which the gametophyte will die and the sporophyte will become independent and develop into what we recognize as the adult fern.
text: The sporophyte is dependent on the gametophyte and remains permanently attached to it in order to gain nutrition and protection.
text: The sporophyte is short-lived and depends on the gametophyte to survive.
text: Sporophytes are typically short-lived and depend on the gametophyte for support and nutrients.
