The life cycle of a fern is beautiful and a little complex, but can be learnt with the aid of diagrams. The fern has two life stages - a tiny, haploid phase (the gametophyte - n) and a diploid phase (the sporophyte - 2n), which is the obvious and recognisable plant. Diagram of the [|Life Cyle of a Fern]and another [|diagram from David Nelson]. [|Student tutorial]about the fern life cycle. Fern life cycle clearly showing [|haploid and diploid phases.] Print out a Life cycle of a Fern diagram here: [|life-cycle-of-a-fern-diagram] [|Reproduction in Flowering Plants]

Great worksheet about sexual reproduction in animals: http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/sustain/srdone.pdf Fertilization (when male and female gametes meet) can be external, as in many marine and freshwater organisms, or internal, as in most terrestrial vertebrates, such as birds, reptiles and mammals.

[|Animal reproduction worksheet] from the Melbourne Zoo. Sexual reproduction occurs in both plants and animals and involves the production of gametes by [|meiosis.] Excellent [|Stages of Meiosis Animation] from McGraw Hill [|Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis]from McGraw Hill [|Random Orientation of Homologous Pairs of chromosomes during meiosis] - McGraw Hill.
