Document Summary

Figure 26. 21- the three domains of lifezoom in on land plants going to talk about gymnosperms and angiosperms. Adaptations of seed plants to life on land: one of their characteristics is that they have reduced gametophytes (haploid) reduced to the point where they are microscopic. Integuments- layers of sporophyte tissues a) the integuments are going to form the seed coat (1) the seed coat function is to surround and protect the megasporangium: the female gametophyte develops from megaspore and produces one or. In gymnosperms, the megasporangium is surrounded by integument one. If you look at most gymnosperms and all angiosperms, they do. Not have flagella they are able to colonize dry habitats: seeds. 1. the anther (2n) contains the microsporangia: each microsporangia contains microsporocytes (2n) b) the microsporocyte is going to go through meiosis and produce microspores (n) Unique process only in angiosperms: one sperm is going to fertilize egg and produce diploid zygote.

	Tracheids are responsible foranchoring the plant to a substrate.
	Pterophytes lack tracheids but haveeuphylls.
	Without tracheids colonization ofland would not have been possible.
	All of the large dominant extantland plants are tracheophytes.
	Tracheids allow for efficienttransport of water over longer distances.
