6
The rose-shaped complexes shared between plants and charophyceans are for __________ __________.
Cellulose synthesis
7

9
Female structure containing megasporangium, megaspore, and integument.
Ovules
10
Megaspores divide via __________.
Meiosis
11
Male structure containing microspore; transferred via wind or animals. Dispersal is water independent.
Pollen
12
A pollen grain contains _____ sperm each.

13
Seed plants evolved how long ago?
350MYA
14
Seed plants evolved in the __________ period.
Carboniferous
15
The two groups of seed plants are:
Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
16
Naked seeds.
Gymnosperms
17
Contained seeds.
Angiosperms
18
In __________, the ovule is not surrounded by ovary or fruit.
Gymnosperms
19
The 4 phyla of gymnosperms are:
Ginkophyta, Gnetophyta, Cycadophyta, and Coniferophyta
20
There is only one species in this phylum of gymnosperms.
Ginkophyta
21
Used in traditional medicine for circulatory disorders, memory enhancement, and dementia.
Ginkophyta
22
Most closely related to the angiosperm (according to classical views).
Gnetophyta
23
The only gymnosperm to exhibit "double fertilization". Not true double fertilization, because the second fertilization degenerates and does not form endosperm.
Gnetophyta
24
The gymnosperms known are cycads.
Cycadophyta
25
Gymnosperms dominant in the Mesozoic era.
Cycadophyta
26
Have crowns of stiff compound leaves with a short trunk.
Cycadophyta
27
Often mistaken as "palms", which are angiosperms.
Cycadophyta
28
Cycadophyta are __________.
Dioecious
29
Examples of this gymnosperm are pine and fir trees (most are evergreen).
Coniferophyta
