The Sex Lives of Nonvascular Plants: Alternation of Generations - Crash Course Biology
Hank introduces us to nonvascular plants - liverworts, hornworts & mosses - which have bizarre features, kooky habits, and strange sex lives. Nonvascular plants inherited their reproductive cycle from algae, but have perfected it to the...
Crash Course
The Plants & The Bees: Plant Reproduction - CrashCourse Biology
Hank gets into the dirty details about vascular plant reproduction: they use the basic alternation of generations developed by nonvascular plants 470 million years ago, but they've tricked it out so that it works a whole lot differently...

Bryophytes and the Life Cycle of Plants
We now understand that the ancestors of plants came from the ocean. But eventually, the first plants made their way out of the water and onto land. What did these plants look like? What functions were they capable of carrying out, and...
