Lycopodium has only one size of spores said to homosporous while Selaginella has both a microspore that grows into the male gametophyte and macrospores that produces female gametophytes. Selaginella has ligules at the base of each microphyl
sporophyte have branch leave while lycopodium have unbranch leave
Selaginella, Lycopodium, Equisetum, Marsilea, Pilularia, Regnellidium, Pteris, Salvinia, Cyathea, Alsophilaetc.
Spores are reproductive systems for ferns. They are dispersed and can survive for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Two gametes fuse together to create a sporophyte which soon develops into a fern. Spores are important to ferns as they prevent their kind from extinction.
Baby plants grow off their mother's leaves and are then deposited into the ground.
Sori (singular Sorus)
on the under side of the leaves, there are brown circles, those are the pollen/seeds.
Lycopodium is a clubmoss which is homosporous
Lycopodium is Isophyllous,Homosporous.It has monocious gametophyte and do not have rhizophores.But Selaginella is Dimorphism, heterosporous.It has dioecious gmetophyte and rhizophores
in Selaginella sp a strobilus contains both megaspores and microspore but in Licopoium sp they are in seperate strobili OWTCA-kln.Sl
Selaginella, Lycopodium, Equisetum, Marsilea, Pilularia, Regnellidium, Pteris, Salvinia, Cyathea, Alsophilaetc.
Lycopodium is homosporous producing only one type of spores.
no selaginella has megaspores and microspores
No, Selaginella are not seedless plants. They are vascular plants that produce spores for reproduction. Spores are a type of reproductive structure that can be dispersed and germinate into new individuals.
Lycopodium, which is in the genus club mosses
It is an important technique for powdered drug ,especially when chemical & other method fail as accurate measure of quality. Lycopodium is composed of spores of lycopodium elavatum.I. Each spore is tetrahedral in shape, The base is rounded and the threeside wallmakes the three well marked covering ridge, which join one other at filled with fixed oil. The spore are exceptionally uniform in size(25µm) and the shape tetrahedral so that one can always know that a definite no. of spore present in particular weight of lycopodium. On an average 94000 spores per mg of powdered lycopodium are present. Using this figure one can calculate the weight of any number of spores under any condition underthe microscope.
The spores develop on the underside of the leaves.
The fronds of the fern are its leaves. Spores are found on the underside of the leaves. Instead of having flowers and seeds, ferns reproduce by means of the spores on its fronds.
