However, for those who do have food allergies, this distinction is very important. Food allergies can cause death. Food Allergens and Allergic Reactions. Like most allergic reactions, allergens in food are responsible for the food allergies. They are mostly proteins that resist the heat of cooking, stomach acids, and digestive enzymes.
In bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), the dominant generation is haploid, so that the gametophyte comprises what we think of as the main plant. The opposite is true for tracheophytes (vascular plants), in which the diploid generation is dominant and the sporophyte comprises the main plant. Bryophyte Generations
Young sporophytes of the common moss Tortula muralis. In mosses, the gametophyte is the dominant generation, while the sporophytes consist of sporangium-bearing stalks growing from the tips of the gametophytes. A sporophyte (/spÉËroÊËfaÉªt/) is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga.he sporophyte produces spores (hence the name) by meiosis, a process also known as reduction division that reduces the number of chromosomes in each spore mother cell by half. The resulting meiospores develop into a gametophyte.
