Document Summary

Understand the adaptations of seed plants that enable them to survive. Distinguish the unique features of angiosperms and gymnosperms. Explain the importance of seed plants to human life. Seeds are embryos surrounded by nutrients and a protective coat, and seed plants are able to spread seeds through wide areas, allowing life to arise from within even after long journeys or volcanic eruptions. 30. 1 adaptations of seed plants that allow them to live well on land. Unlike seedless vascular plants that have visible gametophytes, those of seed plants are microscopic. Because they are so small, they can develop within the sporangia of the parent plant and do not need to be released into the potentially dangerous environment meaning they need fewer adaptations to survive. Seed plants first appeared 360 million years ago, and have several important adaptations. All seed plants are heterosporous, producing two types of spores that in turn produce male and female gametophytes.

	all of these choices accurately describe the fern lifecycle.
	is dependent on external water.
	relies on the wind to disperse the spores.
	produces a gametophyte that lacks vascular tissue.

Question 13 options:

	spores and pollen.
	seeds and fruit.
	pollen and seeds.
