Where does reproduction take place in gymnosperms?

Answer 1

Gymnosperms (meaning "naked seeds") are seed-bearing plants that don't produce flowers, instead they have male and female reproductive organs mostly in the form of cones. Their microsporophylls release pollen into the air to make available to the ovule, in the megasporophylls causing fertilization. Their seeds develop without a protective covering of ovary wall. Conifers (like pines, redwoods, and fir), gingkos, seed ferns, cycadeoids, and cycads are gymnosperms.

Hope this is helpful!

Answer 2

Gymnosperms reproduce sexually by means of wind dispersal. The mature male gamete (pollen) is carried by wind and if it fertilizes the female gamete(egg) and the zygote is able to successfully find a place for maturation, it will grow to become a mature sporophyte, and the cycle starts over again.

Answer 3

Most gymnosperms produce naked seeds in the form of cones. The male cones produce pollen which is usually spread by the wind. The pollen of the male cones falls on to the ovule (or egg cell) of the female cone.

Answer 4

The gymnosperms are primarily conifers (cone bearing trees and shrubs) such as the spruce, pine and fir trees. They are non-flowering plants that produce seeds not encased in any kind of carpel or fruit. The seeds form on the scales of the cone.

Whether they form seeds asexually, or sexually (which I doubt, given the absence of a blossom and an ovary), I cannot say for sure. Perhaps someone else can add to this.

just adding to this i do know that seeds were the first plants to reproduce using seeds

Answer 5

Gymnosperm plants have both male and female reproductive organs. They depend on the wind for pollination. The male gametophyte cell lands on the female cell for fertilization.

Answer 6

they go through pollination fertilization seed development and then seed disperal

Answer 7

Gymnosperms differ from angiosperms specifically in the lack of flowers and protected seeds. Instead, plants like evergreens grow pinecones, with "naked" seeds.
