Question

Do all plants have the same life cycle?

Answer 1

Plant life cycle

1. The life cycle of plants generally includes seed formation, germination, growth of the plant, reproduction, pollination, and spreading of seeds.
2. The life cycle of gymnosperms and angiosperms varies. This is due to the difference in the formation of various structures during reproduction.
3. They have a dominant sporophyte phase.
4. The mature sporophyte plant produces male and female reproductive parts that produce the male and female gametophytes respectively.
5. They eventually produce pollen and egg respectively.
6. Pollination and fertilization cause the formation of a diploid zygote.
7. The zygote develops into a seed embryo, which on germination results in the formation of a mature sporophyte.
