c. Charophyceans
d. Hornworts
Key Traits shared with land plants:
1.
2.
3.
2. Distinctive feature of land plants include which of the following?
a. Apical Meristems
b. No alternation of generations
c. Paternally dependent embryos
d. Reproductive cells called sponges
3. Alteration of Generations
All plants go through a sporic life cycle that is also called an “alternation of generations” life
cycle
 In alternation of generations the plant cycles through a “multicellular _______
gametophyte stage that produces _______, and a multicellular _______ sporophyte
stage that produces _______”

The _________ produced in alternation are eggs produced in female structures
called archegonia, while _______ are produced in male structures called antheridia
 Spores produced in alternation of generation are haploid cells that “germinate” and
produce the multicellular haploid __________ stage by the process of mitosis
 In alternation of generations the haploid sperm cell and the haploid egg cell
_____________ to produce the diploid zygote that develops into the multicellular
diploid sporophyte stage through the process of mitosis
 Haploid spores are produced in the __________ by the process of meiosis
