19. The diagram below indicates the life cycle of a moss plant. Two processes in the life cycle of moss that contribute to increased genetic variation are Life Cycle of Moss 1 Female gametophyte Egg 1 Male gametophyte Sperm 2 Zygote 3 Embryo Sporophyte 4 Spores (haploid) Female gametophyte 2 and 3 2 and 4 1 and 2 3 and 4

Step 1
During the gametophyte stage, the plant produces gametes (sperm and eggs) through mitosis. These gametes then fuse during fertilization to form a zygote, which develops into the sporophyte stage. The two processes in the life cycle of moss that contribute to Show more…

The diagram below indicates the life cycle of a moss plant. Two processes in the life cycle of moss that contribute to increased genetic variation are:
Sri K.
Moss Life Cycle 1. Are gametes in mosses haploid or diploid? 2. Are they produced by meiosis or mitosis? 3. Is the dominant generation the gametophyte or the sporophyte?
Madhur L.
What occurs in the life cycle of a moss but not in the life cycle of a gymnosperm? In moss, sperm and egg cells are produced after haploid spores are released from the sporophyte. In moss, sperm and egg cells grow in cones that are attached to the sporophyte plant. In moss, sporophyte and gametophyte generations alternate. In moss, when two haploid cells fuse, they form a diploid zygote that begins the sporophyte generation.
