Gymnosperms:
Seed plants began to dominate the land as a result of two major reproductive
adaptations.
Pollen freed seed plants from the requirement for water in reproduction
Seeds contain energy for developing plant embryos.
In seed plants, both male and female gametophytes are greatly reduced in size while the
sporophyte is large.
The female gametophyte consists of a small group of haploid cells that produces the egg,
while a grain of pollen which contains sperm producing cells are all that remain of the
male gametophyte.
Seed plants are divided into two major categories:
1. non-flowering gymnosperms
2. flowering angiosperms.
Gymnosperms evolved before angiosperms.
Gymnosperms are vascular seed-bearing plants with a naked seed coat (this means they
do not form a fruit around the seed).
Conifers have separate male, and female pinecones.
The male cone produces microspores that develop into pollen.
Seeds are enclosed in the female pinecones.
The conducting tissue of a plant is made up of:
1. Xylem
2. Phloem
