9. Differentiate between the following:-
(iii) homosporous and heterosporous pteridophyte
Homosporous pteridophytes | Heterosporous pteridophytes |
These pteridophytes produce only a single type of spores, hence are called homosporous pteridophytes | These pteridophytes produce two types of spores i.e. microspores and megaspores. Hence, they are called heterosporous pteridophytes |
The produce only a single gametophyte which is bisexual. | They further form two types of gametophytes i.e microgametophytes and megagametophytes. |
