Definition
False

Bryophytes are primitive, seedless, non-vascular plants that includes the mosses
Definition
True
Term
The gametophyte stage of plant life cycles is diploid, and the sporophyte stage is haploid
Definition
False
Term
Ferns produce seeds, but have no vascular system for conducting water to leaf cells
Definition
False
Term
The difference between gymnosperms and angisperms is the angiosperms produce a naked seed, but gymnosperms produce a seed with a heavy coat to protect the embryo.
