Difference between Botany and Fern

Botany vs. Fern

Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.

Similarities between Botany and Fern

Botany and Fern have 46 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alternation of generations, Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, Biological life cycle, Cladogram, Class (biology), Devonian, Embryophyte, Fern, Flowering plant, Gamete, Gametophyte, Gymnosperm, Habitat, Holocene, Horticulture, Leaf, Lycopodiophyta, Lycopodiopsida, Marchantiophyta, Mitosis, Molecular phylogenetics, Monocotyledon, Moss, Mycorrhiza, Nitrogen fixation, Photosynthesis, Phylum, Plant, Plant morphology, Plant stem, ..., Ploidy, Protein, Pteridophyte, Root, Seed, Sister group, Species, Spermatophyte, Sporangium, Spore, Sporophyte, Stolon, Taxon, Vascular plant, Weed, Zygote.

Alternation of generations

Alternation of generations (also known as metagenesis) is the type of life cycle that occurs in those plants and algae in the Archaeplastida and the Heterokontophyta that have distinct sexual haploid and asexual diploid stages.

Angiosperm Phylogeny Group

The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to an informal international group of systematic botanists who collaborate to establish a consensus on the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that reflects new knowledge about plant relationships discovered through phylogenetic studies.
