How do the microsporangium and microspore in seed plants differ from primitive heterosporous
plants?
Solution
Microsporangium and Microspores in seed plants:
Microspores are the first cells to form into the male gametophyte and give rise to pollen grains.
The megaspores are formed within the developing seed. Microsporangia develop in pairs toward
the bases of the scales. Each of the microsporocytes in the microsporangia undergoes meiosis,
producing four haploid microspores. These then develop into pollen grains and each grain
consists of four cells and a pair of external air sacs.
Primitive Heterosporous plants:
The small female gametophyte formed on germination of the megaspore produces one or few
archegonia in a very short time. The microspore also develops rapidly, and spermatozoids are
soon liberated from the male gametophyte.
