The cycads, a mostly tropical phylum of gymnosperms, evolved about 300 million years ago and were dominant forms during the age

of the dinosaurs. Though their sperm are flagellated, their ovules are pollinated by beetles. These beetles get nutrition from the pollen and shelter from the microsporophylls. Upon visiting megasporophylls, the beatles transfer pollen to the exposed ovules. In cycads, pollen cones and seed cones are borne on different plants. Cycads synthesize neurotoxins, especially in the seeds, that are effective against most animals, including humans. Which feature of cycads distinguishes them from most other gymnosperms

Answer:

poliinators and flagellated sperm

Explanation:

Cycads (phylum Cycadophyta) together with Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta, Pinophyta, Pteridospermales and Cordaitales  belong to the gymnosperms (naked seed-producing plants). They are different than angiosperms which produce encased seeds within an ovary.

Cycads (but also Ginkgo) produce swimming sperm that is different than all other groups which produce sperm without swimming flagella.

Also, unlike other groups of gymnosperms, cycads have specialized  pollinators, beetls.

Brian hamilton has , which is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding his elbow. this was caused by a sports injury.
KIM [24]
This is called bursitis specifically olecranon bursitis. Olecranon bursa in the elbow is a thin fluid filled sac at the tip of the elbow. The bursa fills with fluid which can lead into inflammation on the surrounding area of the elbow resulting in pain and limitations of movement. Complications can happen if medical attention is not given. This includes bleeding, bruising, infectins, necrotizing fasciitis can also happen. Patient must undergo work up such as plain x rays, bone scintigraphy or if needed MRI/CT scan. Surgical interventions are usually needed because non surgical means are usually non effective. Long term monitoring is a must and patient must be advised on prevention practices.
