this video was extremely helpful in helping me understand this process. thank you sir!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are welcome and glad to hear it was helpful for you.

[@thesenate3728]

Thankyou, so, so much. I'm not much a plant person, and studying them has been difficult, but you described everything so clearly and it really has helped me

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Sounds like.... Mission Accomplished DeBacco Universtiy! Great to now the videos are helpful for you!

[@prabhav1788]

I literally have a test tomorrow, this saved me. I understand everything on the test but this plant reproduction kinda tripped me up. Thanks for clearing it out for me and others.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Happy to help and hope you did well on your test.

GREAT VIDEO!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE LECTURE SLIDES AVAILABLE!!!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad it was helpful and yes slides are available for download (and sources) in the description.

[@boom-bh9ld]

Thx I was struggling to understand this topic in my text book

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad to hear this video helped you!

[@nehasinha4245]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video.I wanted it in a comparative manner for easy comprehension.Good luck.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad it was helpful to better understand plants that go through alternation of generations.

[@surreal.1]

very well explained, thank you!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are welcome!

Is there a mistake on the slide in "Basics"? Doesn't the sporophyte produce haploid 1n spores by meiosis? Bit confused about this

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Good catch, yes the saprophyte produces haploid (1n) spores. This is why it is important to cite sources in the description;-)

[@koungmeng]

Thanks for the video

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

You are welcome!

[@Jill-000]

Does one gametophyte produce multiple sporophytes, or are the spores the only phase in the plant's life cycle that the number of individual plants increases? I'm a bit confused by the definition of reproduction and whether the process is classified as such.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

The gametophyte produces gamete that fuse to form a zygote that then produces the sporophyte. Hope this helps.

[@cherubic_axiom]

why are plants so weird😢

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

... not all plants;-)

[@luiegiii]

Thank you!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad you liked it, you are welcome!

[@ryanhuish3803]

I believe there is an error in your slide comparing Animal and Plant life cycles. Should the spores in the plant life cycle be haploid? In your image it is portrayed as diploid. Spores are the result of meiosis, which makes haploid cells, which then grow into the gametophyte and produce haploid gametes.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thank you very much for pointing this out... good catch. This is also why citing your sources is important. This will be added to the list for corrections in the future. Thanks again.

[@broly425]

that did cause me a lot of confusion thanks for pointing it out
