2. In plants, when a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces two diploid cells .
a) When a haploid cell undergoes mitosis, it produces ____________________________.
b) When a diploid cell undergoes meiosis, it produces ____________________________.
c) Formation of gametes results from mitosis or meiosis?
d) Sexual reproduction in plants requires mitosis or meiosis?
e) In the sporic life cycle, the gametophyte is __________________ and produces _________________ which are haploid by the process of _________________ .
f) In the sporic life cycle, the sporophyte is __________________ and produces _________________ which are haploid by the process of _________________ .

3. List 8 general characteristics of mosses.

4.
a) Draw a diagram of a fern. Label the following in your diagram: frond, roots, blade, rhizome, pinna, stipe.
b) What is a sorus and what are its components? Draw a diagram to illustrate.

5. In the sporic life cycle of a fern, a sporophyte which is _________________ undergoes _________________ to produce 4 haploid _________________ which eventually are taken by the wind and land on trees and soil. They germinate, grow, and undergo _________________ to produce a gametophyte which is _________________. A female gametophyte has gametangia called _________________ whereas a male gametophyte has gametangia called _________________. The gametangia of the gametophytes produce _________________ which are _________________ via the process of _________________ . These unite to form a zygote which is _________________. The zygote grows and matures by means of _________________ to become a mature sporophyte and cycle begins again!
