Document Summary

Chapter 30- plant diversity ii: the evolution of seed plants. 30. 1 seeds and pollen grains are key adaptations for life on land. Characteristics common to all seed plants: seeds, reduced gametophytes, heterospory- spores produce male/female gametophyte, ovules- location female gametophyte, pollen- location male gametophyte. Ovules and production of eggs: ovule consists of megasporangium(2n), megaspore (n) protective integuments. Pollen and production of sperm: pollen grain (n) discharged sperm nucleus (n, microspore in microsporangia, microspores develop into pollen grain (contain male gametophyte, pollen can be dispersed by air, animals, no need for water. If pollen grain germinates: gives rise to a pollen tube that discharges sperm into the female gametophyte within the ovule. Seed= after fertilization: developes from the whole ovule, includes sporophyte embryo (2n), food supply (female gametophyte n) protective coat(integument becomes protective) Clicker_ which does not apply to gymnosperms or angiosperms?-they are heterosporous so they don"t have only one type of spore. 30. 2 gymnosperms bear naked seed, typically on cones.
