Describe some of the factors that have contributed to the success of seed plants
SpyIntel [72]
Heterospory, highly reduced gametophytes, ovules, pollen, seeds are the five adaptations common to all seed plants that ensure their success in the adaptation to land. Three things: The gametophytes of seed plants are reduced and dependent upon the parent sporophyte which protects them (particularly in the case of the female gametophyte). Pollen is covered with sporopollenin which is resistant to physical factors in the environment. The structure of the seed protects the next generation sporophyte and allows it to remain dormant until conditions are right for germination, development and growth.

This delta is a land-form which is formed by the deposition of the similar substances, where the flow of the river is slower.
