Document Summary

Name the three broadest groups of extant (living today) vascular plants. Lycophyte: club mosses & relatives: monilophyte: ferns & relatives. Seed plants: gymnosperms (pinecone) & angiosperms (flowering plants) Land plants (embryophytes): the bryophytes and vascular plants, both of which produce embryos; have a sporic life history with a sporophyte generation that is dependent on parent tissue for part of its life. Lycophyte: type of tracheophyte; includes club mosses and relatives; 1300 types: vascular plants (tracheophytes): a plant that has a xylem and a phloem, monilophyte: type of tracheophyte; includes ferns and relatives; 12 000 types. Seed plants: type of tracheophyte; includes gymnosperms (1000 types) and angiosperms (300 000 types) Zygote: the diploid (2n) cell resulting from the fusion of male and female gametes. Spore: a reproductive cell, usually unicellular, capable of developing into an adult without fusion with another cell. Sporophyte: the spore producing, diploid (2n) phase in a life cycle characterized by alternation of generations.
