Detailed explanation-1: -Following are the important characteristics of gymnosperms: They do not produce flowers. Seeds are not formed inside a fruit. They are naked.
Detailed explanation-2: -The seeds of many gymnosperms (literally, “naked seeds”) are borne in cones and are not visible until maturity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gymnosperm plants have naked seeds, which means that their seeds are not covered within a fruit. The plant body consists of intermediate to tall shrubs and trees. The gigantic redwood tree that is Sequoia is among the world’s tallest trees.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
