seed plants have ___ ___
Seed plants have vascular tissue
Seed plants produce ___
Seed plants produce ovules
Ovules are ____ surrounded by layers of___ tissue that enclose the ___
Ovules are Megasporangium surrounded by layers of sporophyte tissue that enclose the Megasporangium
After fertilization, ___ develops into a seed, ___ develop into the seed coat
After fertilization, ovule develops into a seed, integuments develop into the seed coat
Seed plants are divided into two groups based on presence of an ___ ___
Seed plants are divided into two groups based on presence of an ovary wall
Gymnosperms
have seeds that are totally exposed or borne on scales of cones
no ovary wall surrounds the ovules
angiosperms
flowering plants that produce seeds within a mature ovary (fruit)
Four phyla of gymnosperms
- Coniferous
- Ginkgophyta
- Cycadophyta
- Gnetophyta
conifers
woody trees or shrubs that produce annual additions of secondary tissues
many produce resins

most are evergreen; a few are deciduous
most conifers are ___
most conifers are monoecious; reproductive parts are borne in male and female strobili (cones)
monoecious

A male cone consists of sporophylls that bear sporangia on the underside
microsporangia contain ___, each of which undergoes ___ to form four ___ microspores
microsporangia contain microsporocytes, each of which undergoes meiosis to form four haploid microspores
micropores develop into ___ grains consisting of ___ cells
micropores develop into pollen grains consisting of four cells
each cone scale of a ___ cone bears two magasporangia on its ___ surface
each cone scale of a female cone bears two magasporangia on its upper surface
Within each ____, meiosis of a megasporocyte produces four ___ megaspores
Within each megasporangium, meiosis of a megasporocyte produces four haploid megaspores
one megaspore divides by ___, developing into the female gametophyte, which produces an ___ within each of several ____
one megaspore divides by mitosis, developing into the female gametophyte, which produces an egg within each of several archegonia
