The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of pteridophytes that produce spores of a similar kind, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Types of Spores in Pteridophytes**: - Pteridophytes can be classified based on the type of spores they produce. They can be either homosporous or heterosporous. 2. **Define Homosporous and Heterosporous**: - **Homosporous**: These plants produce only one type of spore. This means that all the spores are of the same size and type. - **Heterosporous**: These plants produce two different types of spores, usually a larger megaspore and a smaller microspore. 3. **Identify Examples**: - Examples of homosporous plants include **Lycopodium** and **Pteridium**. - An example of a heterosporous plant is **Marsilea**. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the question asks for pteridophytes that produce spores of a similar kind, the correct answer is **homosporous**. ### Final Answer: The plants in the majority of the Pteridophytes that produce all spores of similar kind are called **homosporous**. ---
