| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| lycophytes | group of vascular plants that include the clubmosses |
| tracheophytes | lignin, branched sporophytes with multiple sporangia, differentiated tissues, reduction of gametophytic generation |
| main groups of seedless vascular plants | rhyniophyta, lycopodiophyta, monilophyta |
| spores are made in | sporangia |
| sporangia are subtended by | sporophylls |
| spores germinate into | gametophytes |
| heterosporous | few ferns, some lycophytes, seed plants |
| homosporous | most ferns, equisetophytes, some lycophytes (ancestral) |
| rhyniophyta | undifferentiated into roots/leaves, homosporous, cuticles and stomata present, terminal sporangia, wet habitats |
| zosterophyllophyta | leafless, dichotomiusly branched, spores arranged laterally, homosporous, ancerstors to lycophytes |
| trimerophytophyta | gave rise to ferns and progymnosperms, lacked leaves, lateral branches present, homosporous, plants over 1 meter tall |
| lycopodiophyta | 1200 extant species, microphylls, club mosses, spike mosses, quillworts |
| lycopodiaceae | homosporous, worldwide distrubution, prostele, microphylls, sporophylls, bisexual gametophyte |
| selaginellaceae | spike mosses, 750 species, microphylls, heterosprous, male/female gametophytes, biflagellate sperm |
| endosporic gametophyte | the retention and development of gametophytes, partially or entirely, within the walls of the generative spore |
