In a fern’s life cycle, of hybrid “1” the sperm in the antheridium was found to have a total of 8 chromosomes. On one of the chromosomes was the dominate gene “T” on one of the chromosomes which produced tall sporophyte fronds. In a hybrid “2” fern, the egg was also found to contain a total of 8 chromosomes with a recessive gene “t” which produced short sporophyte fronds. If the sperm of hybrid “1” fertilized the egg of hybrid “2”, how many chromosomes and what would be the genotypes of the resulting structures listed below after fertilization in the plants life cycle?
Resulting sporophyte:
Resulting gametophyte:
Spores formed in resulting sporophyte:
Sporgium sac in the sori:
Resulting antheridium sac:
Resulting spore mother cell:
