Question

The advantages of the reduced gametophytes in seed plants include ________. the advantages of the reduced gametophytes in seed plants include ________. protection of the spores from ultraviolet radiation and drying out, and gain of nutrients from the sporophyte protection from ultraviolet radiation, gain of nutrients from the sporophyte, and protection from drying out development of the seed protection from ultraviolet radiation, gain of nutrients from its own photosynthesis, and protection from drying out

Answer 1

The  advantage   for  the  reduced   gametophytes  in  seed   plant  is   that  they gain  nutrients   from  the  sporophytes

    Gametophytes  are   microscopic  and  have  capacity  to  develop   from   spores   retained   in  the  sporangia  of  parental sporophyte. This  kind  of arrangement  protect  developing  gametophyte   from environment  stress  which  enable  it  to  gain  nutrient  from   sporophyte.
