Which of the following is correct regarding female gametophyte development in
Angiosperms?
The female gametophyte develops in the anther
The female gametophyte develops in an ovule within an ovary
A female gametophyte develops from all four megaspores produced via meiosis
All cells of the female gametophyte are haploid
What is a key adaptation of Gymnosperms which helps make them successful on land?
male gametophytes that are found within mobile sporophyte tissue
O leaves modified to attract pollinators

- Most of the approximately 900 species of gymnosperms are conebearing plants. On the surfaces of their cone scales are ovules, which later become seeds. These ovules are said to be naked because they are not completely enclosed by diploid tissue (as the ovules of angiosperms are). This characteristic gives the gymnosperms their name; gymnos is a Greek word meaning naked, and sperma means seed. Botanists now divide the gymnosperms into four groups: conifers, cycads, ginkgos, and gnetophytes.arrow_forwardWhat evolutionary advantages do seed provide over spores?
