Alternation of generations is the same in all plants in the sense that during sexual reproduction gametophytic generation alters with the sporophytic generation. In angiosperms and gymnosperms the only difference is the presence of embryo sac in the ovule in place of archegonium in gymnosperms. Also double fertilization takes place in angiosperms to have sporophytic endosperm, which remains gametophytic in gymnosperms.

How are gynosperms different from angia sperms?

The difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms is that gymnosperms develop cones as their seed to use in the fertilization process, and angiosperms produce flowers and fruits as their seed to use in the fertilization process.


What animals undergo alternation of generations?

The alternation of generations is the presence of two different life forms in the life cycles. Some animals that undergo this are invertebrates such as insects and crustaceans.


Are marigolds gymnosperms or angiosperms?

Marigolds are angiosperms, which means they are flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed within a fruit or shell. Gymnosperms, on the other hand, are a different group of plants that produce seeds without a protective fruit layer.


Are apple trees gymnosperms?

No, apple trees are angiosperms, which are flowering plants. Gymnosperms are a different group of plants that produce seeds without enclosing them in a fruit. Apple trees produce their seeds within the fruit.


What is the 2 groups of plants that form seeds are?

Gymnosperms and angiosperms are the two groups of plants that make seeds. Gymnosperms have naked seeds. Angiosperms have seeds that are inside of a fruit that provides protection and food for the seed.


How do the seeds leaves and stems and flowers of these two groups differ?

Seeds: Gymnosperms have naked seeds not enclosed in fruit, while angiosperms have seeds enclosed in a fruit. Leaves: Gymnosperms typically have needle-like or scale-like leaves, while angiosperms have a wider variety of leaf shapes. Stems: Gymnosperms often have woody stems, while angiosperms can have both herbaceous and woody stems. Flowers: Gymnosperms do not produce flowers, while angiosperms have flowers for reproduction.


Compare and contrast life cycles of angiosperms and gymnosperms?

How are gymnosperms and angiosperms similar how are they different?

Gymnosperms and angiosperms are both types of seed-producing plants. However, gymnosperms have naked seeds that are not enclosed within a fruit, while angiosperms have seeds that are enclosed within a fruit. Angiosperms also have flowers for reproduction, whereas gymnosperms typically have cones.


Why gymnospern is different from angiosperm?

Gymnosperms evolved earlier on than angiosperms. They are generally evergreen and spread their pollen on the wind. Angiosperms evolved more recently. They have flowers, are pollinated by pollinators, and consist of two categories; monocots and dicots.


What is a gametophyte and sporophyte?

gametophyte: The gamete-bearing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations sporophyte: The spore-producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations
