While the Lycopodiaceae are homosporous, the Selaginellaceae are heterosporous, producing two types of spores, microspores and megaspores. The strobili of Selaginella consist of microsporophylls and megasporophylls, bearing microsporangia with microspores and megasporangia with megaspores, respectively. Examine the prepared slide of a mature Selaginella strobilus and identify the two spore types (see text Figure 17-19, pages 406 and 407). 4. Label the microspores and megaspores in Figure 3 below. Figure 3. Selaginella strobilus l.s. Photo by Carolyn Alling 5. What type of gametophyte does the microspore give rise to? The megaspore?

Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.
