Chapter 21, Problem 8SA
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Ferns and horsetails are seedless vascular plants. These have short-lived and tiny gametophyte. The spores are developed inside the gametophyte and released directly into the environment. The spore of the fern develops inside the sour by meiosis.
