Question
What are heterosporous plants?
Answer
Heterosporous plants are plants that produce two different types of spores: microspores, which develop into male gametophytes, and megaspores, which develop into female gametophytes. These spores are produced in different structures, such as microsporangia and megasporangia, respectively. Heterosporous plants are typically seed plants, including most gymnosperms and all angiosperms.
