Gymnosperms do not produce flowers (as opposed to angiosperms), so there is nothing to attract pollinating insects. As a result, they depend on the wind to blow the pollen from the male to the female cones. Pollination can also occur if the male cones are present at the same time and situated above the female cones. In this case self-pollination can occur when the pollen simply falls or blows downward.
Angiosperms possess flowers and fruits, which are reproductive structures that facilitate pollination and seed dispersal. In contrast, gymnosperms do not have flowers or fruits; instead, they reproduce using cones. Both groups have vascular tissue, but the defining feature that distinguishes angiosperms from gymnosperms is the presence of flowers and fruit.
Pollination
The group that produces fruits and vegetables are angiosperms. Gymnosperms produce conifers like cedar and softwoods like pine and fir.
Gymnosperms and angiosperms differ primarily in their reproductive structures and methods of seed dispersal. Gymnosperms do not have flowers or fruits, which are defining characteristics of angiosperms; instead, they produce seeds that are often exposed on cones. Additionally, angiosperms rely on various pollinators for reproduction, whereas gymnosperms typically use wind for pollination. These differences highlight their distinct evolutionary paths and adaptations to their environments.
Yes, wind is a common method for pollen dispersal in gymnosperms. Male cones produce pollen grains that are lightweight and easily carried by the wind to female cones where they can fertilize the ovules. This wind-mediated pollination allows gymnosperms to reproduce without the need for animals or water.
One main difference is that gymnosperms typically rely on wind for pollination, while angiosperms often rely on animals like bees for pollination. Additionally, gymnosperms have exposed seeds, while angiosperms have seeds enclosed within a fruit. Finally, gymnosperms do not produce flowers, while angiosperms do.
there is not to big of a differents
Both have wind pollination. Hope this HELPS!! :)
Pollination. Fertilization is what occurs after pollination.

Pollination happens is when the pollen goes into the ovary.

Gymnosperms pollination occurs after the micro spores are released from the male cone. They travel by wind until they get stuck to a female cone due to a sticky resin. Once stuck a pollen tube is grown and pollination occurs
During self pollination, pollen grains move from the stamen of a flower to its pistil. Cross pollination involves flowers from different plants.
