The correct Answer is:
To determine the true statement regarding the features of the majority of pteridophytes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pteridophytes**: - Pteridophytes are vascular plants that include ferns and horsetails. They are characterized by having a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem. 2. **Identifying Features**: - The features provided in the question include: - Homosporous - Heterosporous - Megaspores germinate into female gametophyte - Precursor of seed habits 3. **Analyzing Homosporous vs. Heterosporous**: - Most pteridophytes are **homosporous**, meaning they produce spores of the same size and type. - Some pteridophytes, like Salvinia and Selaginella, are **heterosporous**, producing two different types of spores (macro and micro). However, these are exceptions rather than the rule. 4. **Evaluating Other Options**: - The statement about megaspores germinating into female gametophytes does not apply to the majority of pteridophytes. - The concept of being a precursor of seed habits is more relevant to seed plants, not the majority of pteridophytes. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the majority of pteridophytes are homosporous, the correct answer is that the true statement regarding the features of the majority of pteridophytes is **"Homosporous."** ### Final Answer: - The true statement feature for the majority of pteridophytes is **"Homosporous."** ---
