Question

In a tabular form compare and contrast the characteristics of pteridophite and spermatophyte

Answer 1

Answer:

Spermatophytes produce seeds while bryophytes do not produce seeds.

Spermatophytes are non-thalloid plants (i.e. plant body is distinguished into roots, leaves and stems) while bryophytes are thalloid plants (i.e. plant body is not distinguished into roots, stem and leaves).

Spermatophytes are vascular plants while bryophytes are non-vascular plants.

Saprophytic phase is dominant in life cycle of spermatophytes while gametophytic phase is dominant in life cycle of bryophytes.

Spermatophytes have gametic meiosis while bryophytes have sporic meiosis.

Spermatophytes do not need water for the act of fertilization while bryophytes need water for the act of fertilization
