Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Alternation of generations

Alternation of generations (also known as metagenesis) is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plants and algae in the Archaeplastida and the Heterokontophyta that have distinct sexual haploid and asexual diploid stages.

New!!: Prothallium and Alternation of generations · See more »

Antheridium

An antheridium is a haploid structure or organ producing and containing male gametes (called antherozoids or sperm).

New!!: Prothallium and Antheridium · See more »

Archegonium

An archegonium (pl: archegonia), from the ancient Greek ἀρχή ("beginning") and γόνος ("offspring"), is a multicellular structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants, producing and containing the ovum or female gamete.

New!!: Prothallium and Archegonium · See more »

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

New!!: Prothallium and Dominance (genetics) · See more »

Egg cell

The egg cell, or ovum (plural ova), is the female reproductive cell (gamete) in oogamous organisms.

New!!: Prothallium and Egg cell · See more »

Fern

A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.

New!!: Prothallium and Fern · See more »

Fertilisation

Fertilisation or fertilization (see spelling differences), also known as generative fertilisation, conception, fecundation, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to initiate the development of a new individual organism.

New!!: Prothallium and Fertilisation · See more »

Gametophyte

A gametophyte is one of the two alternating phases in the life cycle of plants and algae.

New!!: Prothallium and Gametophyte · See more »

Genetics

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

New!!: Prothallium and Genetics · See more »

Germination

Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure.

New!!: Prothallium and Germination · See more »

Greek language

Greek (Modern Greek: ελληνικά, elliniká, "Greek", ελληνική γλώσσα, ellinikí glóssa, "Greek language") is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece and other parts of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

Latin

Latin (Latin: lingua latīna) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.

New!!: Prothallium and Latin · See more »

Marchantiophyta

The Marchantiophyta are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts.

New!!: Prothallium and Marchantiophyta · See more »

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

New!!: Prothallium and Meiosis · See more »

Mitosis

In cell biology, mitosis is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

New!!: Prothallium and Mitosis · See more »

Moss

Mosses are small flowerless plants that typically grow in dense green clumps or mats, often in damp or shady locations.

New!!: Prothallium and Moss · See more »

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is the permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements.

New!!: Prothallium and Mutation · See more »

Organism

In biology, an organism (from Greek: ὀργανισμός, organismos) is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life.

New!!: Prothallium and Organism · See more »

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation).

New!!: Prothallium and Photosynthesis · See more »

Ploidy

Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.

New!!: Prothallium and Ploidy · See more »

Pteridophyte

A pteridophyte is a vascular plant (with xylem and phloem) that disperses spores (and lacks seeds).

New!!: Prothallium and Pteridophyte · See more »

Rhizoid

Rhizoids are protuberances that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes and algae.

New!!: Prothallium and Rhizoid · See more »

Saprotrophic nutrition

Saprotrophic nutrition or lysotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter.

New!!: Prothallium and Saprotrophic nutrition · See more »

Sorus

A sorus (pl. sori) is a cluster of sporangia (structures producing and containing spores) in ferns and fungi.

New!!: Prothallium and Sorus · See more »

Sperm

Sperm is the male reproductive cell and is derived from the Greek word (σπέρμα) sperma (meaning "seed").

New!!: Prothallium and Sperm · See more »

Sphagnum

Sphagnum is a genus of approximately 380 accepted species of mosses, commonly known as peat moss.

New!!: Prothallium and Sphagnum · See more »

Spore

In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions.

New!!: Prothallium and Spore · See more »

Sporophyte

A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga.

New!!: Prothallium and Sporophyte · See more »

Zygote

A zygote (from Greek ζυγωτός zygōtos "joined" or "yoked", from ζυγοῦν zygoun "to join" or "to yoke") is a eukaryotic cell formed by a fertilization event between two gametes.
