Explain the difference between homosporous and heterosporous plants. Where are the microsporangium and megasporangium found in a tulip? What happens to the spores that are produced by these structures?

Video transcript

Hello everyone. Let's look at our next problem. The plants producing spores of similar shape and size are known as blank. Whereas plants that produce different sprites of different types of spores are known as blank. Well early plants um all have these uh similar shape and size spores um produced by the deployed structure called the spare engine. And we might recall that with these similar shape and size spores. Uh These plants are mainly self pollinating and this includes the bryan fights and ferns. Now plants that have different types of spores. You have mega spores being produced by the megastore angie. Um And then we have micro spores being produced by the micro spore MGm. And the mega stores are going to go on to become the female camino fights while the micro spores will go on to become the male comedian fights. And this development later on. Of the two different types of spores allows cross pollination. Um Bring greater genetic diversity to these species. So that would be why this arose in later plants. And this would include some Torretta fights. And then the seeded plants have this diversity of spores. So looking over our answer choices. Um The we're talking we're talking about spores and their shape and size. So we're gonna talk about whether they're homos porous or hetero spores. So we can go ahead and eliminate choice a homosexual and heterosexual and choice D flowering and non flowering. So we just have to remember which is which. Well looking at our prefixes their spores of similar shape and size would be homeless spores. That should be our first choice. So that's going to be Choice B As homeless forest 1st and then hetero forests for different types of sports. Second, we know that prefix homo meaning same and had real meaning different, so Choice B is our correct answer. Choice C has them reversed. So plants producing spores of similar shape and size are known as choice be homeless forests, whereas plants that produce different types of spores are known as hetero forests. See you in the next video.
