All C-fern spores are identical. With this in mind, answer the following questions.

a. Is it possible for a single C-fern spore to grow into a mature gametophyte individual that produces both male and female gametangia/gametes on the same plant? Why or why not?

b. Based on your lab observations, under our controlled growth conditions, did the C-fern spores grow into adult gametophyte plants that were monoecious only, or dioecious only or were both monoecious and dioecious plants were present? What features define monoecious vs dioecious?
