How does the life cycle of a flowering plant differ from the life cycle of moss?

Answer 1

Moss Plant Life Cycle:

The capsule of a moss plant releases spores, into which grow to be a green moss plant. Then fertilization between the plant sperm and the egg begins. Soon, an immature stalk and capsule grow from the fully fertilized egg. When the plant is fully mature, spores again start to grow in the capsule. After this a new moss plant is fully grown and matured.

Answer 2

The dominant form for the moss is the gametophyte. For the fern it is the sporophyte. Both experience both, with an alternation of generations. Both have gametophyte generations that produce gametes from archegonia and antheridia which swim together and form a diploid zygote that develops by mitosos into a mature spore-formin sporophyte. But in the ferns, this is the plant form that you see and think of when you think of a fern, complete with fronds. In the moss, this sporophyte phase is a non-photosynthesizing, parasitic, epiphytic shoot growing out of the plant that you normally think of as the moss.

Answer 3

I am getting this answer from a school textbook life cycles of mosses are different from gymnosperm because mosses are seedless plants and gymnosperm are the oldest seed plants

Answer 4

1. Gymnosperms are vascular plants and mosses are non-vascular

2. Gymnosperms reproduce by seeds and mosses by spores
