Common mistakes in Gymnosperms and their features
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Calls any cone-bearing structure a flower with an enclosed ovary.
- Assumes seed plants still require free-swimming sperm through external water in the same way as pteridophytes.
- Uses vascular tissue alone and ignores the presence or absence of seeds.
