Question

Determine whether each of the following is a characteristic of the life cycle of a seed plant, a seedless plant, or both. Sporophyte generation Pollination Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures Single fertilization Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells Life Cycles of Seed and Seedless Plants

Answer 1

Sporophyte generation  - It is found in both seed and seedless plant. Dominant phase of the life cycle of the seedless  plants is diploid sporophyte while in seed plant  male and female gametes fuses to produces a diploid zygote which develops into a sporophyte.

Pollination - It occurs in seed plants only

Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures -  It is found in both seed and seedless plant.

Single fertilization - It occurs in both seed and seedless plant

Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells - seedless plant only

Answer 2

For those who are confused these are the correct answers.

Determine whether each of the following is a characteristic of the life cycle of a seed plant, a seedless plant, or both.

Sporophyte generation    BOTH

Pollination        SEED PLANTS    

Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures     SEED PLANTS

Single fertilization    BOTH

Alternation of generations     BOTH

Produce spores          BOTH

Sperm cells travel down tube to ovule    SEED PLANTS

Meiosis       BOTH

Zygote formed       BOTH

Double fertilization       SEED PLANTS    

Gametophyte generation     BOTH

Endosperm formed      SEED PLANTS

Mitosis      BOTH

Spores develop into gametophytes       BOTH
