Question

Are ferns flagellated sperm?

Answer 1

Ferns

1. Ferns are pteridophytes that are mostly found in damp and shady regions.
2. They do not produce seeds or flowers for reproduction, thus also called cryptogams.
3. Ferns have a well-developed vascular system. They also have true stems, roots, and complex leaves.
4. Ferns produce multi-flagellated sperm (antherozoids) from the antheridium.
5. Water is essential for facilitating the transfer of antherozoids to the female sex organ, archegonium.
