Question 9 • Fall 24 GSE Biology B-IC
Flowering seed plants often use insects to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Nonflowering seed plants, such as conifers, generally rely on wind for pollination. Both groups have alternation of generations, and neither has a dominant gametophyte; flowering plants are also characterized by double fertilization, not single fertilization. Thus, insect pollination is the distinguishing feature.
