Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that sporangia are structures where spores are produced. In flowering plants, these are found in specific parts of the flower.
Recognize that the male reproductive part of a flower is the stamen, which consists of the anther and filament. The anther is where pollen (male spores) is produced, so it contains sporangia.
Identify that the female reproductive part of a flower is the pistil, which includes the ovary. Inside the ovary, ovules are present, and they contain the female sporangia where the female spores (megaspore) develop.
Differentiate between the terms: the ovary is the structure that houses the ovules, but it is the ovules themselves that contain the sporangia.
Conclude that the two structures of a flower that bear sporangia are the ovules (within the ovary) and the anthers (part of the stamen).
