When and where does reduction division take place in the life cycle of a liverwort, a moss, a fern, a gymnosperm and an angiosperm?
Liverwort: In liverworts, the reduction division takes place in the capsule during the sexual reproduction.
Moss: In mosses the reduction division takes place in the capsule during the sexual reproduction.
Fern: Reduction division takes place in the sporangia, thereby producing many spores during the sexual reproduction.
Gymnosperm: Reduction division takes place in the microsporangia present and in the megasporangia during sexual reproduction.
Angiosperm: In angiosperms, reduction division takes place in the anthers of the stamen (producing haploid pollen grains or male gametes) and in the ovary of the pistil (producing eggs or female gametes ) during the sexual reproduction phase.
