GymnospermsA gymnosperm (Greek for "naked seed") is a vascular plant that produces seeds that are not protected by fruit but are hidden in a woody cone. They do not have flowers, but most retain their leaves year round. Gymnosperms include over 600 species in four divisions: Conifers, Cycads, Ginkgoes, and Gnetophytes. Most of today's gymnosperms belong to the conifer division. Gymnosperms are found in most of the world's regions and take most of the credit for timber and paper products. AngiospermsAngiosperms are vascular plants that produce flowers and fruit with one or more seeds. Angiosperms make up two classes: monocotyledonous (monocot) and dicotyledonous (dicot) plants. Angiosperms make up more than 80% of all plant species, ranging from roses to palm trees.

Gymnosperm - 'naked seed'

  • the endosperm is (n haploid)
  • reproduction is achieved through male and female cones
  • mainly represented by tree species
  • phylem coniferophyta
  • phylem gnetophyta
  • phylem cycadophyta
  • phylem ginkgophyta

Angiosperm - flowering plant

  • the endosperm is (3n triploid)
  • male pollen and female ovules are produced
  • fruits and flowers
  • phylem anthophyta

Angiosperms develop their seeds inside the ovary where as gymnosperms are naked seeded plants.
angiosperms is a seed and fruit and gymnosperms is only a seed

What is the main difference between agiosperms and gymnosperms?

In angiosperm seeds are enclosed inside the ovary whereas in gymnosperm seeds are naked (i. e. born on megasporophyll) Gymnosperms have archegonium for egg whereas in angiosperms it is replaced by an embryo sac.


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.


How is the alternation of generations the same and how is it different between angiosperms and gymnosperms?

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.

In what ways does pollination in gymnosperms differ from pollination in angiosperms?

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.


What are the main characteristics used to differentiate between the angiosperms and gymnosperms?

Angiosperms are characterized by enclosed seeds within a fruit, while gymnosperms have exposed seeds on the surface of scales or cones. Angiosperms have flowers for reproduction, while gymnosperms have cones. Additionally, angiosperms have vessels in their xylem, while gymnosperms have tracheids. These are the main characteristics used to differentiate between angiosperms and gymnosperms.


What is the similarity between gymnosperms and angiosperms?

Both produce seeds


Do gymnosperms share either of the two characteristics with angiosperms?

Yes, both gymnosperms and angiosperms are seed-producing plants. However, gymnosperms do not produce flowers, which is a characteristic unique to angiosperms.


What are similarities between gymnosperms and angiosperms?

The most common similarity is definitely SPERM!!
