Reproduction in gymnosperms -

  • Female gametophyte possess archegonia i.e. female sex organ.
  • Microspores include male gametophyte which produces only two male gametes or sperm. 
  • The pollen grains or microspores are liberated at more than 2-celled stage from microsporangium. 
  • Water is not required for transport of male gamete. A pollen tube is formed that delivers male gametes to archegonia. 
  • Fertilization produces a zygote which later turns into an embryo.
  • Endosperm in gymnosperms is formed before fertilization. It represents the haploid female gametophyte generation.
  • The seeds are naked i.e. they are not formed inside fruit as in angiosperms.
