In Bryophytes, the dominant phase in the life cycle is the the gametophyte plant. However in pteridophytes the main plant body is a sporophyte. How can we easily differentiate between the the sporophytes in bryophytes and pteridophytes.

How can we differentiate Pteridophytes and Bryophytes.

heterospory i.e formation of two types of spores- microspores and megaspoores is characteristic features in the life cycle of a few members of pteridophytes and all spermatophytes. do you think heterospory has some evolutionary significance in plant Kingdom.

The following is a list of Plants. Riccia, Chlorella, Salaginella, Adiantum, Chalamydomas, Sugarcane, Funaria, Gnetum, Ficus, Cycas. Categories this plans into algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms.
