Challenge 3: Aridity and Reproduction

The gametophytes of bryophytes, ferns, and some gymnosperms produce motile (haploid) sperm

cells (like their algal ancestors)

Impossible for sperm to reach eggs in absence of water

Solution:

The “seed plants”

Gymnosperms and angiosperms

Gymnosperms:

“Naked” seed plants

oSporophyte’s haploid spores retained in reproductive structures

Pollen grains produce nonmotile sperm

oMale gametophyte contained within protective covering, eliminating the liquid-water

requirement for fertilization

oPollination - transfer of pollen to female reproductive parts

oPrimarily wind and water based in gymnosperms

Ovule:

oSporophyte structure produces female gametophyte with egg

oConnected to sporophyte by protective tissue

Seeds:

oStructure forms when ovule matures after sperm fertilization through pollination

Embryo sporophyte (diploid)

Surrounded by nutritive tissues

Protective coat

oSeeds are major adaptations for uncertain environments

Long distance transport

Potential dormancy

Angiosperms:

Flowering plants with covered seeds

oFlowers contain carpels at their center that protects ovules and seeds

oFruit structure nourishes and disperses seeds

oDouble fertilization

Produces embryo and endosperm

2 major groups:

oMonocots (single cotyledon):

Grasses, palms, lilies, orchids, and others

Parallel-veined leaves common

Bundles of vascular tissue scattered in stem

oEudicots (2 cotyledons):

Document Summary

The gametophytes of bryophytes, ferns, and some gymnosperms produce motile (haploid) sperm cells (like their algal ancestors) Impossible for sperm to reach eggs in absence of water. Naked seed plants: sporophyte"s haploid spores retained in reproductive structures. Pollen grains produce nonmotile sperm: male gametophyte contained within protective covering, eliminating the liquid-water requirement for fertilization, pollination - transfer of pollen to female reproductive parts, primarily wind and water based in gymnosperms. Ovule: sporophyte structure produces female gametophyte with egg, connected to sporophyte by protective tissue. Seeds: structure forms when ovule matures after sperm fertilization through pollination. Protective coat: seeds are major adaptations for uncertain environments. Flowering plants with covered seeds: flowers contain carpels at their center that protects ovules and seeds, fruit structure nourishes and disperses seeds, double fertilization. Bundles of vascular tissue scattered in stem: eudicots (2 cotyledons): Most fruit trees, roses, beans, potatoes, and others. Central core of vascular tissue in stem.
