In pteridophytes, gametophyte that develops in the homosporous species is usually
1. Monoecious and has events, precursor to the seed habit.
2. Dioecious and does not lead to seed habit.
3. Monoecious and does not lead to seed habit. 
4. Dioecious and has events, precursor to the seed habit.

The spreading of living pteridophyte is limited and is restricted to narrow geographical region because of

1. Growth requirements of gametophyte (cool, damp and shady places).

2. Requirement of water for fertilisation.

3. Absence of stomata in leaf and absence of vascular tissue.

4. Both 1. and 2..
