Document Summary

Plant diversity ii: the evolution of seed plants (chapter 30, seeds and pollen grains are key adaptations for life on land, characteristics common to all seed plants. Includes sporophyte embryo, food supply, protective coat: reduced gametophytes, gametophyte/sporophyte relationships, gametophytes of seed plants develop within the walls of spores retained within tissues of the parent sporophyte, no longer dependent on water for fertilization, heterospory. Spores that will produce a male or female gametophytes: ovules. Formed from megaspores: an ovule consists of a megasporangium, megaspore, and protective integuments, pollen, microspores develop into pollen grains, contain male gametophyte, pollen can be dispersed by air or animals, eliminates the need for water in fertilization. If a pollen grain germinates it gives rise to a pollen tube that discharges sperm into the female gametophyte within the ovule: gymnosperms bear "naked" seeds, typically on cones, gymnosperms include, phylum cycadophyta. Sago palms: phylum gingkophyta, phylum gnetophyta, phylum coniferophyta, pines.
