Question 11 • AFC Biology B S3
Both gymnosperms and angiosperms have a dominant sporophyte generation and a reduced gametophyte generation. Both produce pollen, so pollination occurs, and sperm travel through a pollen tube to reach the ovule rather than swimming through water. In both groups, a sperm fertilizes the egg to produce a zygote. Double fertilization is characteristic of angiosperms, not gymnosperms.
