Document Summary

Gymnos typically do not require water for fertilization. Gymnos produce spores that do not travel outside the plant. Male = micro (microstrobili = male cone) Female = mega (megagametophyte = female gametophyte) Spores = always produced by meiosis (microspore, megaspore) in gymnosperms. Cones = strobilus/strobili (male or female) (2n) Pollen = male gametophyte (develops into sperm nucleus) Conifer tree = porophyte (cid:894)2n(cid:895) porophyte dominant. Character states that help plants reproduce without water. Extra food (endosperm for the developing baby) in seed. Use of flowers and fruits to have animals do the work of pollination and seed dispersal.

Where spores are produced - spores stay inside the flower. Where gametophytes are produced (pollen) - pollen leaves flower. Ovary develops into the fruit which contains the seeds.
