The cone of a gymnosperm is the equivalent of the ovary of angiosperms. The seeds in the cone are naked, and receive pollen by wind action from the male equivalent of the stamen. In season, you'll often find dustings of sulphur-yellow pine pollen on the surface of water puddles.
The gymno part comes from the Greek and means naked, hence similar words such as gymnast.
Cones
Megasporophyll and microsprophyll represent the male and female reproductive structure in the gymnosperms. Generally these are organized to form cones. In some cases like female plants of Cycas, Ginkgo and Taxus etc. cones are absent.
The reproductive structure of a gymnosperm is the cone. The cone produces pollen or sperm cells that will later on fertilize a female plants eggs or anthers
The reproductive structures of most gymnosperms are called cones.
The seed bearing structure of a gymnosperm is called a cone. The seed bearing structure of an angiosperm is called a flower.
cones
Seed cones and pollen cones.
Ovule
It is an angiosperm as it is a seed bearing floweringplant.
it is a gymnosperm
Gymnosperms do not have flower whereas angiosperms have flowerThe seed of the gymnosperms is unprotected (naked seed) compared to angiosperm's seed is protected in ovary.Gymnosperms consists of tracheid (except Gnetum sp. ) while angiosperms have complex vascular tissue ( develop vascular tissue)The reproductive structure for gymnosperm is cone and the reproductive structure for angiosperm is flower. :)
Gymnosperm means 'naked seed' and includes the conifers, cycads, Ginkgo and Gnetales groups of trees.
spore -bearing plants the reproductive structures are called spores while the seed - bearing plant enclosed in woody structures called cones or strobili.
Ovuliferous scale in the cone
a gymnosperm is a seed bearing plant with ovules that usually are arranged in a cone like structure, and have saprophytes
A fern is not a gymnosperm for a gymnosperm is a seed bearing plant such as conifers.
Yes, it is a gymnosperm.

Neither, it is a gymnosperm (covered seed, coniferous (cone bearing) plants) . The terms monocot and dicot relate to angiosperms (naked seed, flower bearing plants)
