Question

Do Pteridophytes show sporic meiosis?

Answer 1

Sporic meiosis:

Sporic meiosis is the term used to describe the meiotic spore production in the sporangia of sporophytes.

Pteridophyta:

Pteridophyta is a vascular plant without seeds or blooms, therefore their reproduction is secret.

Sporic meiosis of Pteridophyta:

1. Pteridophytes exhibit sporic meiosis, which is the creation of spores through meiosis.
2. These spores then germinate to become gametophytes.
3. Meiosis in spore mother cells results in the formation of spores in the sporangia.
