Document Summary

Chapter 30: plant diversity ii: the evolution of seed plants. Concept 30. 1: seeds and pollen grains are key adaptations for life on land: name five terrestrial adaptations that contributed to the success of seed plants, characteristics common to all seed plants: Pollen o: compare the size and independence of the gametophytes of bryophytes with those of seed plants, gametophyte sporophyte relationships in different plant groups: Reduced (usually microscopic), dependent on surrounding sporophyte tissue for nutrition. Concept 30. 2: gymnosperms bear naked seeds, typically on cones. List and distinguish the four phyla of gymnosperms: phylum cycadophyta cycads next largest group of gymnosperms after conifers, sago palms. One of the largest living organisms: describe the life history of a pine. In most conifer species each tree has both ovulate and pollen cones: 2. A microspore develops into a pollen grain: 3. An ovulate cone scale has two ovules, each containing a megasporangium. Pollination occurs when a pollen grain reaches the ovule.
