Gymnosperms and Angiosperms are both vascular, seed plants.

I think the main difference between the two are: gymnosperms seeds are not enclosed in an ovary, whereas angiosperm seeds are inclosed in a ovary (fruit).

There are lots of other differences (e.g. mechanisims of fertilisation, mechanisims of seed dispersal.) I suggest looking up the lifecycles of both and comparing the two.

Is a fern an angiosperm?

No, a fern is not an angiosperm. Ferns belong to a group of plants called pteridophytes, which reproduce via spores rather than seeds. Angiosperms, on the other hand, are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit. Therefore, ferns and angiosperms are distinct categories within the plant kingdom.


Can the rain tree reproduce seeds or spores?

The rain tree (Samanea saman) reproduces through seeds rather than spores. It produces large, flat seed pods containing several seeds, which are dispersed by wind or animals. This tree is not a spore-producing plant, as it is a flowering angiosperm. Therefore, its primary mode of reproduction is via seed production.

How do a lima bean plant and a pond pine differ in how they make seeds?

A lima bean plant, being an angiosperm, produces seeds through flowering and pollination, where fertilization occurs within the flowers, leading to the formation of seeds enclosed in pods. In contrast, a pond pine, as a gymnosperm, reproduces by producing cones; its seeds develop from ovules that are exposed on the surface of these cones rather than being enclosed in a fruit. This fundamental difference reflects their distinct reproductive strategies within the plant kingdom.

Is the cumin is funnel seeds or different spice?

Cumin is different from fennel...they look the same at first glance, except that fennel seeds are greenish brown in colour and slightly bigger in size, they are sweeter in flavour.

Do bigger sunflowers have bigger seeds?

Yes. Larger members of a cultivar will produce larger seeds. However, different cultivars have different seeds size and shapes. For instance, seeds from a Mammoth Grey Stripe are wider than those from American Giant, even though American Giant can grow several feet taller.

Are hybrid seeds GMO?

Hybridization is a different technique than what is called genetic engineering. Seeds sold as hybrids are probably not genetically engineered using the method of extracting a gene from one species and inserting it into a totally different species.
