The result is a multi-cellular haploid organism, called the gametophyte (because it produces gametes at maturity). [17] When it reaches maturity, the gametophyte produces one or more gametangia (singular: gametangium) which are the organs that produce haploid gametes. At least one kind of gamete possesses some mechanism for reaching another ...
[1] [2] Both monoicous (/ m ɒ ˈ n oʊ ə k ə s /) [3] and dioicous gametophytes produce gametes in gametangia by mitosis rather than meiosis, so that sperm and eggs are genetically identical with their parent gametophyte. It has been suggested that monoicy may have benefits in dry habitats where the ability to produce sporophytes is limited ...
Three of these independent gametophyte cells degenerate and the one that remains is the gametophyte mother cell which normally contains one nucleus. [24] In general, it will then divide by mitosis until it consists of 8 nuclei separated into 1 egg cell, 3 antipodal cells , 2 synergid cells , and a central cell that contains two nuclei.

Dioicy promotes outcrossing. [3] Sexual dimorphism is commonly found in dioicous species. [4]: 71 [2]: 378 Dioicy is correlated with reduced sporophyte production, [5] due to spatial separation of male and female colonies, scarcity or absence of males.
The results of these experiments led directly to the "one gene, one enzyme" hypothesis that specific genes code for specific proteins. This concept launched molecular biology . [ 6 ] Sexual fruiting bodies (perithecia) can only be formed when two cells of different mating type come together (see Figure).
