Seeds |
Absent |
Absent |
The seeds of the gymnosperms are naked and they are formed in the cones. They remain invisible until they are mature. |
The seeds are usually enclosed in the mature ovaries, or they remain enclosed in fruits |
Fruits |
Absent |
Absent |
Absent |
Present. Fruits are formed from the ovary and they are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. |

Absent |
Present. The pollen is formed in the microsporophylls of the male pollen cones. |
Present. The pollen is produced by the anthers of the stamens present in the flowers. |

Haploid generation becoming dominant 2. Which of the following occurs in the Ilie cycle of both masses and anglosperms? a. The sporophyte is the dominant generation b.

Remove the carpel by cutting it free just below the base. Make a series of thin cross sections through the ovary. The ovary is hollow, and you can see nearly seberical bodies wide. What are these bodies? 7. Flowering plants are divided into two called moncats and sudicots. In the meantime, Table 15. lists significant differences between the two classes of Is your flower a monocolor codico Table 18.1 Monocots and Eudicots Monocots Eudicots One cotyledon Two cotyledons Flower parts...
1. When you look at a pine or maple tree, the plant you see is a _____. 2. The Brazil nut tree, Bertholletia excels (n = 17), is native to tropical rain forests of South America. It is a hardwood tree that can grow to over 50 meters tall, is a source of high-quality lumber, and is a favorite nesting site for harpy eagles. As the rainy season ends, tough-walled fruits, each containing 8-25 seeds (Brazil nuts), fall to the...
