Lecture Quiz 3 Lycophytes and Ferns Ques5on 1-‐Lycophytes (4 pts) You are given germinated spores of Selaginella and you are asked to describe them. ADer observing under the microscope, you find: A. One type of spore B. No visible gametophytes aLached to the spores C. Hermaphrodi5c gametophytes germina5ng from spores D. Smaller (micro-‐) and bigger (mega-‐) spores E. A and C F. B and D Ques5on 2 (4 pts.) In fern sporophytes: A. Eusporangia are ancestral, while leptosporangia are derived and more widespread B. Sporangia are organized in sori, which are always covered by a membrane (indusium). C. Leaves are megaphylls, they are Euphyllophytes. D. Some ferns have microphylls, others have megaphylls E. All of the above. F. A and C are correct G. B and D are correct.
