C Fern Life Cycle at Life

C Fern Life Cycle. In apogamy, a sporophyte grows into a gametophyte without fertilization occurring. The life cycle of land plants is characterized by an alternation between two phases or generations that are morphologically and functionally distinct.

Sporophyte, which releases spores, and gametophyte, which releases gametes. You should be able to relate all of these events to the complete life cycle of a fern as well as to plants in general. The life cycle of land plants is characterized by an alternation between two phases or generations that are morphologically and functionally distinct.
