Question

Compare life cycles of angiosperms and gymnosperms.

Answer 1

The male cones release pollen into the air. The wind then carries the pollen to the female cones. The pollen gets stuck in a sticky liquid produced by the ovule. Sperm from the pollen fertilize the egg in the ovule. The ovule then develops into a seed. When the seed is mature, it is dispersed. If conditions are good, the seed grows into a seedling, which grows into a tree. The tree produces cones, and the cycle begins again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (usually a fruit), while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or “naked” seeds on the surface of scales or leaves. Gymnosperm seeds are often configured as cones.
