The homosporous fern Ceratopteris thalictroides forms completely homozygous offspring sporophytes in one generation of selfing. Such homozygotes do not breed true and can exhibit structural heterozygosity for chromosomal mutations in some meiocytes. This is due to occasional nonhomologous (presumably homoeologous) chromosome pairing at meiosis in these polyploid ferns.
