Answer 1

For those who are confused these are the correct answers.

Determine whether each of the following is a characteristic of the life cycle of a seed plant, a seedless plant, or both.

Sporophyte generation BOTH

Pollination SEED PLANTS

Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures SEED PLANTS

Single fertilization BOTH

Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells SEEDLESS PLANTS

Alternation of generations BOTH

Produce spores BOTH

Sperm cells travel down tube to ovule SEED PLANTS

Meiosis BOTH

Zygote formed BOTH

Double fertilization SEED PLANTS

Gametophyte generation BOTH

Endosperm formed SEED PLANTS

Mitosis BOTH

Spores develop into gametophytes BOTH

Answer 2

Sporophyte generation - It is found in both seed and seedless plant. Dominant phase of the life cycle of the seedless plants is diploid sporophyte while in seed plant male and female gametes fuses to produces a diploid zygote which develops into a sporophyte.

Pollination - It occurs in seed plants only

Sporophyte contains male and female reproductive structures - It is found in both seed and seedless plant.

Single fertilization - It occurs in both seed and seedless plant

Sperm cells transported by water to egg cells - seedless plant only
