What are the main characteristics of gymnosperms and angiosperms?

Difference between Angiosperms and Gymnosperms

Angiosperms	Gymnosperms
A seed is produced by flowering plants and is enclosed within an ovary	A seed is produced by non-flowering plants and are unenclosed or naked.
The lifecycle of these plants are seasonal	These plants are evergreen
Has triploid tissue	Has haploid tissue

What are the features of angiosperms?

Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. They are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within their seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds.

Which is the not features of Gymnosperm?

Gymnosperms (Gymno = naked + sperma = seed) are naked seeded plants in which ovule is not covered by ovary. In gymnosperms, xylem contains only tracheids and xylem parenchyma; vessels are absent (exceptionally present in Gnetales).

Which of the following features are related to gymnosperms?

Gymnosperms have an evolutionary significance and show some unique features. Their characteristic feature is the absence of flowers and the presence of naked, open seeds. As they do not have flowers, consequently, fruits are also absent in these group of plants. The main source of pollination and dispersal is wind.

What is the one major characteristic that we see in gymnosperms but not ferns?

Summary : 1. Ferns are flowerless plants that do not have any seeds whereas gymnosperms do have seeds of their own.

What is the difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms?

The key difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms is how their seeds are developed. The seeds of angiosperms develop in the ovaries of flowers and are surrounded by a protective fruit. Gymnosperm seeds are usually formed in unisexual cones, known as strobili, and the plants lack fruits and flowers.

What are the adaptive features of angiosperm?

Angiosperms go a step further from ferns in their adaptations to terrestrial life. They, of course, possess all the specialised structures like roots, stems, leaves, cuticles, stomata, xylems and tough seeds, which enable water conservation and dispersal of seeds for reproduction.

Why is the ovule naked in gymnosperms?

In gymnosperms, the ovule is naked because the ovary wall is absent and therefore the ovules stay unprotected and naked. Normally the ovules are bound to parts of the inner side of ovary walls known as the placentae.

Which of the following feature is found in angiosperms but not in gymnosperms?

Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (usually a fruit), while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or “naked” seeds on the surface of scales or leaves.

What are fossil gymnosperms?

The living gymnosperms are widely distributed in the cold climates where snow is the source of water. Cycas and Ginkgo are referred to as living fossils because they have not yet changed over the years while its related members or species have become extinct or fossilised.

What feature is unique to the gymnosperm leaf and what does it do?

The leaves are needle-like with a thick cuticle and sunken stomata, as seen in conifers. This feature helps in the reduction of water loss due to transpiration. The root system present in the gymnosperms is the taproot system.
