Many plants reproduce successfully through assexual reproduction. Others use sexual reproduction to pass on their genetic material. This is challenging because most plants do not move. Making New Plants
In animals the product of sexual reproduction is the zygote. In plants the product of sexual reproduction is the seed. The seed contains an embryo, a food supply and a seed coat (protects seed from dehydration). Plants can be classified into two groups based on their seed type. Making New Plants
Vascular Plants • Subdivided into two groups -- Seedless vascular plantsand Seed-bearing vascular plants Club Moss
Includes club moss), horsetails whisk ferns and ferns Seedless Vascular Plants Whisk ferns Horsetails
Includes two groups – Gymnosperms and Angiosperms Gymnosperms have naked seeds in cones Angiosperms have flowers that produce seeds to attract pollinators and produce seeds Seed-Producing Vascular Plants
Gymnosperms • Contains the oldest living plant – Bristle cone pine • Contains the tallest living plant – Sequoia or redwood
Gymnosperms do not produce flowers. Seeds are produced inside cones. Their seeds have a coat but they are not enclosed in a case. Gymnosperms
