Alterate generation in life cycle of funaria(plant kingdom)
Gametophyte
Male organ: Antheridia
Female organ: Archegonia
Together: Diploid zygote
Forms the main generation cuz its more conspicious
Attached to the substratum from where it extracts water and minerals
Life cycle has 2 phases
Saprophyte
Gametophyte
Saprophyte
Comprises
Foot
Capsule
Seta
Depends on gametophyte for food and water(semi-parasitic)
Sporongous cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores
Not capable of living independently
This kind of life cycle is called Haplo-diplontic life cycle.
The life cycle exhibits alternation of haploid gamatophytic and diploid saprophytic generation.
