Moss Life Cycle Under The Microscope

Moss Life Cycle Under The Microscope

Mosses are seedless non vascular plants that can be found all over the world in damp moist environments.

Mosses have a unique life cycle in which the haploid stage (the gametophyte, n ) is the dominant generation. Once the egg is fertilized, a diploid sporophyte develops (2n) and produces spores which are dispersed into the surrounding environment.

The moss life cycle is as follows:
Spore – Protonema – gametophyte – Sporophyte
