đẳng bào tử
Definition
- Noun (Botany):
- Isospore: A type of spore that is morphologically identical in size and form. In plants that produce isospores, such as some ferns and algae, these spores do not differentiate into male and female types but are all the same.
- Homospore: A synonym for isospore, referring to a spore that is not sexually differentiated and can develop into a gametophyte that produces both male and female gametes.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Một số loài dương xỉ sinh sản bằng đẳng bào tử. (Some fern species reproduce via isospores.)
- Đẳng bào tử phát triển thành nguyên tản lưỡng tính. (The isospore develops into a bisexual gametophyte.)
Advanced Usage
- In botanical taxonomy and life cycle descriptions, "đẳng bào tử" is a key term contrasting with "dị bào tử" (heterospore).
- Sự tiến hóa từ đẳng bào tử sang dị bào tử là một bước quan trọng. (The evolution from isospory to heterospory was an important step.)
