Gametofüüdi
Gametofüüdi is a term used in biology to refer to the haploid, mobile phase in the life cycle of a plant or alga that alternates between haploid and diploid generations. This phase is characterized by the presence of gametes, which are reproductive cells. Gametofüüdi is typically the dominant phase in the life cycle of non-vascular plants and many algae, including mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and green algae.
The gametofüüdi phase begins with the fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell, resulting in
After the gametofüüdi has produced sufficient gametes, it can undergo sporogenesis to produce a diploid sporophyte.
The gametofüüdi phase is crucial for the sexual reproduction of these organisms, as it is the stage
