30
Q

What is a seed?

A mature ovule containing an embryo

31
Q

Where is the female gametophyte in a gymnosperm?

A

3 generations. food store, prolongs survival, easily transported.

33
Q

What is the ovule?

A

A device which gives rise to and contains female reproductive cells

34
Q

What are the parts of an ovule?

A

Integument - outer layer
Nucleus - remenant of megasporium
Female gametophyte - formed from haploid monophyte - in centre

35
Q

What is pollination?

A

The transfer of pollen grains from pollen sack to ovule

36
Q

What are advantages of the gymnosperm being able to grow tall?

A

Pollen dispersal, Seed dispersal, Light Competition. Has to deal with dessicaiton

37
Q

What type of leaves do gymnosperms have?
