Explanation:
FERN REPRODUCTION
Ferns don't have seeds or flowers. They reproduce using spores. ... Spores are encased in structures called sporangia, which sometimes clump together to form a sorus (plural sori). In some ferns, sporangia are protected by membranes called indusia
MOSS REPRODUCTION
Mosses reproduce by spores, which are analogous to the flowering plant's seed; however, moss spores are single celled and more primitive than the seed. Spores are housed in the brown capsule that sits on the seta
SIMILARITIES OF FERN AND MOSS
Answer:
Difference:
Fern Reproduction
Most burn reproduce sexually and that involves meiosis and fertilisation when you are thinking of the typical big fern plant, what it does is, by meiosis, produces spores, and spores have half the number of chromosomes of the big parent plant. The spores are released into the wind.
Moss Reproduction
Mosses reproduce by spores, which are analogus to the flowering plant's seed; however, moss spores are single celled and more primitive than the seed. Mosses also spread asexually by sending out new shoots in the spring from last year's plants as well as fragmentation.
Similarities:
They're Both Nonflowering Plants
To reproduce sexually, mosses and ferns produce sperm and eggs.. Ferns produce spores on the underside of their fronds in case called sporangia, and mosses produce their spores in capsules that are borne on the ends of stalks.
