Classify
Cycadophyta the phyla for gymnosperms

A
  • Have large cones and ovulate on separate plants (are heterosporous)
    • They thrived during the Mesozoic, but relatively few species exist today, (dinosaur food)
  • Their sperm is multiflagellated, and some actually have insects such as beetles help pollinate them (they eat pollen). So in this way they are like angiosperms
