small and still independant
sporophyte dominant and bigger
homosporous
sporophyte produce only one kind of spores. germinate into bisexual gametophyte that bear antheridia and archegonia
heterosporous
sporophyte produce two kind of spore. germinate in gametophyte that bear either antheridia and archegonia
what are the two kind of spore produce by the heterosporous
microspores and megaspores
what is an isoete
seed less vascular plant . heterosposous. produce spor at the base of leaves

megaphyll
what is a frond. what do they contain
