Life cycle of cycas?

Cycas plant has alternation of gametophyte and sporophyte generations. The main plant body is sporophyte and it bears the male cone and megasporophylls. The male and female gamentes are produced in the male cone and megasporophyll respectively. After pollination and fertilization of ovules the seeds are produced on megasporophylls. These seeds on maturity disperse and germinate to produce a new sporophyte. Male and female cycas plants grow separately.


What is the difference between cone bearing plants and flowering plants?

Cone bearing plants do not depend on Insects, birds or mammals for the transfer of their male gametes or spores. The cone bearing plants are lower in evolutionary ladder than the flowering plants.


In seed plants the structure that encloses the male gametophyte and transports it to another plant is called a?

The spore.


What is one entire male gametophyte of a gymnosperm?

The male gametophyte of a gymnosperm is a pollen grain


What are megaspores?

They form inside ovules and stayed attached to a parent plant, inside the mass they give rise to a female gametophyte that has an egg cell.


What type of plant produces the female and male cone?

A gymnosperm


Is a cone a seedless plant or a seed plant?

well i am not for sure!??(: Male and female cones are reproductive parts in seed plants like gymnosperms; cone itself is not a plant.


In angiosperms the male gametophyte is?

The male gametophyte in an angiosperm is the stamen. The female gametophyte in an angiosperm is the pistil.This is completely wrong. The male gametophyte consists of the generative cell and the tube cell in the pollen grain. The female gametophyte is the 7-celled 8 nucleate embryo sac.


What structure does the male gametophyte become?

In flowering plants, megaspores become the female gametophytes.


Where are pollen grains transported from?

pollen grains are transported from the microsporangium (contained in the anther of an angiosperm flower, male cone of a coniferous plant, or male cone of other seed plants)


Are there male and female pine cones?

ALL pine trees are cone-bearing -that's where the pine-nuts come from. AND that is WHY they are classified as coniferous.(Coniferous means cone bearing.)


WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE GYMNOSPERM SPORE?

The gymnosperms produce megaspores and microspores. A microspore is the male spore and megaspore is the large female spore. The microspore undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular male gametophyte. These male gametophytes are the pollen grains that are contained inside short pollen cones. The megaspore is the large female spore that undergoes mitosis to produce the multicellular female gametophyte that is housed in a large female cone.
