Question 11 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 2

Which of the following do gymnosperms and angiosperms have in common? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
sporophyte generation
B
gametophyte generation
C
pollination
D
double fertilization
E
sperm cells swim through water to reach ovule
F
sperm cells travel through tube to reach ovule
G
fertilization of egg cell with sperm cell produces zygote

Explanation

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.
