Pteridophytes that produce TWO KINDS of spores (macro and micro spores) are called:

AHeterosporous — e.g. Selaginella and Salvinia
BHomosporous (all spores similar)
CIsosporous
DAposporous
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Heterosporous — e.g. Selaginella and Salvinia
Most pteridophytes are homosporous (one kind of spore). Selaginella and Salvinia are HETEROSPOROUS — produce megaspores and microspores that develop into female and male gametophytes respectively. This precedes the seed habit.
