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
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
Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells SEEDLESS PLANTS
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
