Derived characteristics of Vascular seed-bearing plants:(5)
- Reduced gametophyte
- Heterospory
- Ovules and production of eggs
- Pollen and production of sperm
- Seeds
Megasporangium –> Megaspore –>
Female Gametophyte –> Egg
Microsporangium –> Microspore –>

- Has a food supply
- Transported in a much larger range
Angiosperm are…
flowering plants with seeds within their fruit.
Gymnosperm are…
usually evergreen with the seeds in their cones.
