Document Summary

Chapter 30: plant diversity ii: the evolution of seed plants. Mosses and other bryophytes have life cycles dominated by gametophytes, whereas ferns and other seedless vascular plants have sporophyte-dominated life cycles. The evolutionary trend eventually led to seed plants. Mostly microscopic gametophytes in seed bearing plants: describe the ovule of a seed plant. An ovule consists of a megasporangium, megaspore, and protective integuments. Gymnosperms have 1 integument: explain why pollen grains were an important adaptation for successful reproduction on land. In seed plants a sperm-producing male gametophyte inside a pollen grain can be carried a long distance by wind or by animals, eliminating the dependence on water for sperm transport. Pollen grains contain the male gametophyte: explain how a seed can be said to include contributions from three distinct generations. 1st generation: the current sporophyte (cells of ploidy 2n, found in the seed coat in the megasporangium remnant that surrounds the spore wall)
