What is the noun for gametophytes?

What's the noun for gametophytes? Here's the word you're looking for.

gametangium
  1. (botany) A gamete-producing organ or cell found in many multicellular protists, algae and fungi, and in the gametophytes of plants.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Each gametangium yields two morphologically isogamous nonflagellated gametes with anisogamous behavior.”
gametophyte
  1. (botany) A plant (or the haploid phase in its life cycle) which produces gametes by mitosis in order to produce a zygote.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Other aberrant gametophyte phenotypes were observed among the group of mutants that could form antheridia.”
      “Since the asexual gametophyte does not form antheridia or archegonia, crosses to confirm its genotype could not be performed.”
      “A typical, mature Osmunda cinnamomea gametophyte was cordate and without trichomes.”
gamete
  1. (cytology) A reproductive cell (sperm in males or eggs in females), having only half of a complete set of chromosomes.
  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “I assume that each new diploid individual results from the random fusion of a male and a female gamete and that its gender is independent of its autosomal genes.”
      “The formation of the female gamete can be subdivided into two stages, megasporogenesis and megagametogenesis.”
      “Each of these processes becomes a male gamete termed a microgamete which is equivalent to a mammalian spermatozoon.”
gametogonium
gametocyte
  1. (cytology) A diploid germ cell that divides by meiosis into a gamete.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Meanwhile the gametocyte is becoming spherical, and its changes in shape aid in setting it free from the shrivelled host-cell.”
      “It corresponds to the frequency of human carrying gametocytes as well as the average gametocyte density.”
      “This abnegates unequivocal conclusions on the role of asexual parasite density in gametocyte production with our data.”
gametogony
  1. (biology) The stage in the life cycle of sporozoans in which gametes are formed
  2. Examples:
    1. “In the vast majority of Gregarines, however, the life-cycle is limited to gametogony and sporogony.”
gametocide
  1. Any substance that destroys gametes or gametocytes.
gametocytaemia
  1. (pathology) The presence of gametocytes in the blood
gametocytogenesis
gametogenesis
  1. (cytology) The process by which gametes are produced.
  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “Flies homozygous for such hypomorphic mutations reach adulthood, but often exhibit defects during the proliferative stages of gametogenesis.”
      “Meiosis is the component of gametogenesis responsible for the segregation of homologous chromosomes into haploid gametes.”
      “Pond-breeding urodeles, such as A. texanum, exhibit postnuptial gametogenesis.”
gametocytaemias
  1. plural of gametocytaemia
gametogonia
  1. plural of gametogonium
gametangia
  1. plural of gametangium
  2. Examples:
    1. “Both gametangia form from a stereotyped series of divisions of a terminal apical cell, unlike the gametangia of liverworts and hornworts.”
      “Gametophytes, which may be either monicous or dioicous, produce gametangia in modified apices.”
      “Some bryophytes, such as the liverwort Marchantia, create elaborate structures to bear the gametangia that are called gametangiophores.”
gametophytes
  1. plural of gametophyte
  2. Examples:
    1. “Bryophytes are characterized by their dominant gametophytic plant body and their sporophytes epiphytic to gametophytes.”
      “The gametes are isogamous or anisogamous and are produced from the plurilocular sporangia of gametophytes.”
      “The tetraspores and the gametophytes are the only haploid stages in the coralline algae.”
gametocytes
  1. plural of gametocyte
gametocides
  1. plural of gametocide
gametogonies
  1. plural of gametogony
gametes
  1. plural of gamete
  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “The egg cells and antherozoids are collectively known as gametes, and the generation of the moss plant that bears them is known as a gametophyte.”
      “In the case of sib-mating, the sire's gametes are imagined to be combined with an infinite number of full sisters.”
      “Meiosis produces 4 gametes, ie. isogamy, anisogamy and oogamy, which through mitosis develops into mature gametes.”
