The rose-shaped complexes shared between plants and charophyceans are for __________ __________.
Cellulose synthesis
Shared trait #2 between plants and charophyceans:
Peroxisome enzymes
Shared trait #3 between plants and charophyceans:
Formation of phragomoplast
Female structure containing megasporangium, megaspore, and integument.
Ovules
Megaspores divide via __________.
Meiosis
Male structure containing microspore; transferred via wind or animals. Dispersal is water independent.
Pollen
A pollen grain contains _____ sperm each.

Seed plants evolved how long ago?
350MYA
Seed plants evolved in the __________ period.
Carboniferous
The two groups of seed plants are:
Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
Naked seeds.
Gymnosperms
Contained seeds.
Angiosperms
In __________, the ovule is not surrounded by ovary or fruit.
Gymnosperms
The 4 phyla of gymnosperms are:
Ginkophyta, Gnetophyta, Cycadophyta, and Coniferophyta
There is only one species in this phylum of gymnosperms.
Ginkophyta
Used in traditional medicine for circulatory disorders, memory enhancement, and dementia.
Ginkophyta
Most closely related to the angiosperm (according to classical views).
Gnetophyta
The only gymnosperm to exhibit “double fertilization”. Not true double fertilization, because the second fertilization degenerates and does not form endosperm.
Gnetophyta
The gymnosperms known are cycads.
Cycadophyta
