Question

List the advanced characters of Gymnosperms that make their life success on the land?

Answer 1

Gymnosperms were the first plants to have seeds. They are often referred to as having naked seeds because they do not have flowers, and their seeds develop on the surface of the reproductive structures of the plants rather than being contained in a specialized ovary. These seeds are often found on the surfaces of cones and short stalks.

Gymnosperms are a group of plants with the following unique characteristics:

They do not have an outer covering or shell around their seeds

They do not produce flowers

They do not produce fruits

They are pollinated by the wind

Most gymnosperms are evergreens meaning they don’t lose their leaves seasonally but there are a few species like the larch and tamarack that are deciduous.

Gymnosperms are also perennials, growing back every year with no need for replanting.
