Question

list important differences in the reproductive stuctures of
angiosperms and gymnosperms?

G. Lakshmi · Accepted Answer

Gymnosperms

Angiosperms

The
pollen is the male reproductive part and the cone is the female
reproductive part

The
male part is the pollen grain, and the female part is the
ovary

Pollination
is accomplished mainly by wind

Pollination
is accomplished by wind, insects, and other animals

Male
cones (staminate cones) are typically much smaller than female
cones (ovulate cones)

The
ovary goes through meiosis to produce an "egg", which is then
fertilized by the "sperm" carried by the pollen

A
pollen grain is carried by wind currents to the appropriate "egg"
where the growth of the pollen tubes through this tissue brings the
sperm to the egg

The
sperm of the male part travels down the pollen tube in the style
Two sperm enter the micropyle of the ovary After the process of
mitosis, it turns into a seed with an embryo

The
seed may be naked

The
seed may be inside a fruit

Gymnosperms
have the unenclosed seeds, and are found naked on the scales of a
cone

Angiosperms
have flowers and bear seeds enclosed in a protective covering
called a fruit
