Examples
In a later paper Pearson considerably extended our knowledge of the reproduction and gametophyte of this genus.
Thus in Pellia the nuclei of the gametophyte have eight chromosomes and those of the sporophyte sixteen.
When artificially divided small fragments of the gametophyte are found to be capable of growing into new individuals.
The organization of the gametophyte stands in the closest relation to the factors of light and moisture in the environment.
