1. Gymnosperms and Angiosperms
What adaptations do seed plants have that enable them to live away from water?

2. Characteristics of Seed Plants
Seed-bearing plants have several adaptations that allow them to live away from water
Fertilization
Males produce pollen (male gamete) that can be blown by wind or carried by insects
Female gametes (eggs) are protected by either cones or flowers from drying out
Seeds
Embryo is surrounded by a food source and a protective coat
Seed coat prevents it from drying out

3. Characteristics of Seed Plants
