Q: Most ferns produce the same type of spores and are therefore called what?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

To see an animation of the lifecycle of a fern and to test your knowledge, go to the website (http://openstaxcollege. org/ l/fern_life_cycle) . Most ferns produce the same type of spores and are therefore homosporous. The diploid sporophyte is the most conspicuous stage of the lifecycle. On the underside of its mature fronds, sori (singular, sorus) form as small clusters where sporangia develop (Figure 25.23).

 Choices:

- seeds

- sporozoans

- heterosporous

- homosporous


A:
homosporous
