A heterosporous plant is different from a homosporous plant because it reproduces only sexually produces a gametophyte that has both antheridia and archegonia can produce spores all year long rather than seasonally produces two types of spores, one asexually by mitosis and the other sexually via meiosis produces microspores and megaspores that develop into male and female gametophytes In ferns and horsetails, the large, conspicuous stage of the lifecycle is the diploid sporophyte is the diploid gametophyte is the haploid gametophyte is comprised of both the gametophyte and the sporophyte is the haploid sporophyte
