Question

The advantages of the reduced gametophytes in seed plants include ________. the advantages of the reduced gametophytes in seed plants include ________. protection of the spores from ultraviolet radiation and drying out, and gain of nutrients from the sporophyte protection from ultraviolet radiation, gain of nutrients from the sporophyte, and protection from drying out development of the seed protection from ultraviolet radiation, gain of nutrients from its own photosynthesis, and protection from drying out

Answer 1

The advantage for the reduced gametophytes in seed plant is that they gain nutrients from the sporophytes

Gametophytes are microscopic and have capacity to develop from spores retained in the sporangia of parental sporophyte. This kind of arrangement protect developing gametophyte from environment stress which enable it to gain nutrient from sporophyte.
