Seeds
Rhizoids
Pollen contains the entire...
male gametophyte
female gametophyte
both the male and female gametophyte
neither the male or female gametophyte
The transfer of pollen from the male reproductive structure to the female reproductive structure is
pollen
polluting
pollination
Pollen grains contain the egg cells.
True
False
Pollen is carried to the female gametophyte by
wind
insects
small animals
all of the above
Seeds consist of
seed coat
embryo
stored food
all of the above
The embryo in a seed is haploid and will develop into a new gametophyte plant.
True
False
The food supply in a seed sustains the embryo until it has sprouted and has become photosynthetic.
True
False
The seed coat protects the embryo and all contents of the seed from washing away.
True
False
Seeds can remain dormant for
weeks
months
years
all of the above
ALL seeds need favorable conditions of, rain, water, and sunlight to germinate.
True
False
Seeds can survive
bitter cold
drought
extreme heat
all of the above
As the continents became wetter, it became harder for seedless plants to survive.
True
False

True
False
Angiosperms have a method of reproduction and development that includes ....
Flowers
Fruits
Cones
Both flowers and fruits
Flowers are an evolutionary advantage because they attract insects and small animals.
True
False
Pollination is more efficient in angiosperms, by means of insects, than in gymnosperms which use wind for pollination.
True
False
Flowers contain ___________, which surround and protect the seeds.
ovaries
pollen
seeds
none of the above
The fruit of an angiosperm,
