The Differences Between Angiosperm and Gymnosperm
A gymnosperm (Greek for "naked seed") is a vascular plant that produces seeds that are not protected by fruit but are hidden in a woody cone. They do not have flowers, but most retain their leaves year round. Gymnosperms include over 600 species in four divisions: Conifers, Cycads, Ginkgoes, and Gnetophytes. Most of today's gymnosperms belong to the conifer division. Gymnosperms are found in most of the world's regions and take most of the credit for timber and paper products.
Angiosperms
Angiosperms are vascular plants that produce flowers and fruit with one or more seeds. Angiosperms make up two classes: monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. Angiosperms make up more than 80% of all plant species, ranging from roses to palm trees.
Gymnosperm - 'naked seed' * the endosperm is (n haploid) * reproduction is achieved through male and female cones * mainly represented by tree species * phylem coniferophyta * phylem gnetophyta * phylem cycadophyta * phylem ginkgophyta
Angiosperm - flowering plant * the endosperm is (3n triploid) * male pollen and female ovules are produced * fruits and flowers * phylem anthophyta
The main difference between bryophytes and tracheophytes is that bryophytes are non-vascular plants whereas tracheophytes are vascular plants. Both of them have heteromorphic alternation of generation that means the two generations gametophytes and sporophytes are morphologically as well as cytologically different. in bryophytes gametophyte generation is more prominent in which male and female gametes fuse to each other to form zygote which develops into well protected embryo, while in tracheophytes, sporophytes generation is more dominant and gametophyte generation is very small and
