S.No | Gymnosperms | Angiosperms |
1. | Gymnosperms have naked seeds as there is no fruit formation. | Angiosperms bear seeds that are encased in a seed coat. The development of seeds takes place inside the fruits. |
2. | The microsporophylls are broad and are not distinguished into filaments and anthers. | The microsporophylls consist of stamens containing pollen sacs. These sacs bear the male gametes called pollen grains. |
3. | In gymnosperms , the sporophylls are aggregated to form compact cones. | They have sporophylls that aggregate to form flowers with the perianth. |
4. | Their endosperm is haploid. | The resulting endosperm is thus triploid. |
