Treating the common cold during pregnancy. Many of my pregnant patients inquire as to what medication they can use when they experience symptoms of the common cold, such as cough, congestion, sneezing, and fever. I am hesitant to recommend over-the-counter cold remedies because I have heard conflicting information regarding the safety of these products.
Gametophytes. The gametophyte is the dominant phase in the life cycle of moss plants. This is the form of the plant most people are familiar with since it is often seen carpeting trees, rocks, and parts of the forest floor. Photosynthesis takes place in the gametophyte phase.
In nonvascular plants, like mosses, the sporophyte generation is not the dominant generation. This means that the sporophyte is smaller is size and shorter lived than the gametophyte generation. When you think of a moss, you probably picture a tiny green leafy plant, like the one shown below. sporophyte is a multicellular diploid generation found in plants and algae that undergo alternation of generations. It produces haploid spores that develop into a gametophyte.
