In homosporous pteridophytes, the gametophyte is bisexual and haploid.
- Pteridophytes have a sporophytic plant body and can produce either the same or two types of spores.
- If spores are produced on the same plant then the condition is called homosporous.
- If the spores are produced on different thallus then the condition is known as heterosporous.
- Examples of homologous plants are horse tails and ferns.
- Examples of heterosporous plants are Salvinia and selaginella.
- In homosporous plants, spores produced are physiologically similar and produce bisexual gametophytes.
