how are the two structures similar? how are they different?
What structure in the fern life cycle is analogous to the embryo in a seed?
Analogous means functionally similar .
the germinating oospore ( Zygote) is analogous to seed embryo.
Both represent diploid sporophytic generation .
Both on development produce a sporophytic diploid plant .
In seed it is cotyledon or endosperm that store food for the developing / germinating embryo.
Where as in fern the germinating oospore depends upon the prothallus ( Haploid, gametophyte ) for the nourishment till t becomes independent .
