Fern Structure. Ferns can have some very unusual forms and structures. The following describes fern structure and forms that people typically encounter. Leaves. The leaves of ferns are often called fronds. Fronds are usually composed of a leafy blade and petiole (leaf stalk). Leaf shape, size, texture and degree of complexity vary considerably ...

2023年5月28日 · Ferns use alternation of generations, with a sporophyte diploid (2n) generation and a gametophyte (n) generation. The reason is that ferns evolved for life in a damp environment, using water for sexual reproduction. The plant with fronds we recognize as a “fern” is actually just the sporophyte phase of the plant’s life. Parts of a Fern

Ferns come in a variety of shapes and sizes and this interactive explores the diversity of form in New Zealand ferns. The fern body consists of 3 major parts – the rhizome, the fronds and the sporangia. Find out more about the sporangia in this related interactive.

Fern gametophytes are reduced, thalloid, and heart-shaped. They are often referred to as a prothallus or prothallium. Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): Three fern gametophytes that have been stained and so appear blue. The images are labeled as follows: A) Prothallus, B) Archegonium, C) Rhizoid, D) Antheridium. Scale=0.525mm.

The Barnsley fern is a fractal named after the British mathematician Michael Barnsley who first described it in his book Fractals Everywhere. A self-similar structure is described by a mathematical function, applied repeatedly at different scales to create a frond pattern. [61]
