Document Summary

Heterosporous (two types of spores: male and female) The ability of pollen to be dispersed by wind or animals allows the seeded vascular. Gametophytes of seed plants develop within the walls of spores retained within tissues plants to break their ties to water. Plant diversity ii: the evolution of seed plants. The next groups of land plants to evolve were the seed plants. So the gametophyte is no longer independent. Two types of spores are seen in the seed plants. Megaspores: gives rise to the female gametophyte. Microspores: gives rise to the male gametophyte. The two different gametophytes produce two types of gametes. Female gametophyte is an ovule containing an egg cell. Male gametophyte is a pollen grain containing sperm. The outer layer of the ovule is the integument and the tissue of the ovule is diploid (figure 30. 3) eliminating the need for water in fertilization. Microspores develop into pollen grains which can be dispersed by wind or animals,
