Term
adaptations for reproduction on land
Definition
-alternation of gerneration
-the plants we see are the sporophyte generation
-gametophyte generation is found in the pollen grain and ovule
Term
seed plants phylum
Definition
superphylum spermatophyta
Term
stuctures used for reproduction on land
Definition
-flowers and cones - are the plants reproductive structures and water is not directly need
-pollen - carries male gametophyte(sperm) by wind or animals
-seeds- protects zygote and are good at surviving long periods of unfavourable conditions so they can start growing when bad conditions end
