Summary:
- Gymnosperms are vascular plants that produce seeds in cones.
- Examples include conifers such as pine and spruce trees.
- The gymnosperm life cycle has a dominant sporophyte generation.
- Pollination occurs when pollen is transferred from a male to female cone.
- Zygotes develop into embryos inside seeds, from which the next generation grows.
- If the seed germinates, it may grow into a mature sporophytes tree, which repeats the cycle.
