However, there are some differences in their life cycles. In mosses, the dominant phase is the gametophyte, which is the haploid (n) stage that produces gametes. The gametophyte consists of leaf-like structures and has specialized reproductive organs called Show more…

Compare and contrast the life cycle of ferns and gymnosperms (conifers). Be sure to identify similarities and differences between these lifecycles. What evolutionary innovations appear in the conifer life cycle that are not present in ferns? How do these innovations better equip gymnosperms to thrive in a terrestrial (arid) environment?

Plants have sporophyte or gametophyte alternate generation life cycles. Contrast the sporophyte and gametophyte stages of a moss and a ponderosa pine.
