Describe the differences seen in the alteration of generations between gymnosperms, angiosperms and nonvascular plants.
Alternation of generation contains two phases, diploid sporophytic stage and haploid gametophytic stage. In non-vascular plants like mosses (bryophytes), the haploid gametophytic stage is the dominant stage. On the other hand, in vascular plants like gymnosperms and angiosperms the diploid sporophytic stage is the dominant stage.
In gymnosperms, sporophyte grows in association with gametophyte, means sporophyte is totally dependent on gametophytes. On the other hand, in gymnosperms and angiosperms, sporophyte is independent of gametophyte.
In gymnosperms, self-fertilization is common whereas in vascular plants, cross fertilization is more common.

Describe the major differences and similarities between gymnosperms and angiosperms.
"Describe the 5 major TRENDS in the evolution of land plants; from Bryophytes to Gymnosperms/Angiosperms, AND explain how these trends contribute to success."I am answering questions for my college biology class (second semester of Biology for science majors). We are doing our Plant Diversity II lab. These evolutionary trends are DIFFERENT from the five uniquely derived traits of land plants according to my lab teacher, which based on what I think I know are: 1. Alternation of generations 2. multicellular,...
In which plants--mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and/or angiosperms--is the sporophyte generation dominant (i.e., the most recognizable form)? Where is the gametophyte found in these plants?

List all the similarities that all current land plants share with charophytes. What distinguishes modern plants from charophytes? 4. Plants can be classified based on the presence or absence of___________________. Nonvascular plants are called…… 5. Which form dominates the nonvascular plant life cycle? Which form is dominant for vascular plants? 6. Which additional characteristics are...
A. What is meant by the statement that plants undergo an alternation of generations? B. In a typical multicellular plant, are the alternating generations equivalent or does one dominate over the other? Using mosses and angiosperms as examples, briefly describe how the dominant generation has changed during plant evolution.

QUESTION 50 Which of the following is SHARED between Gymnosperms and Angiosperms? Both clades make pollen grains that grow pollen tubes into ovules for fertilization. Both clades utilize cones to store and protect developing seeds. Both clades currently have approximately the same number of species on the planet. Both clades have an extra layer of ovary tissue surrounding the ovule. None of the above. With regard to moving materials throughout plants, the Xylem conducts ___________. Xylem tissue is composed of...
