and the pteridophytes.
Phanerogamic plants are those having
seeds. They comprise and the angiosperms.the gymnosperms



  1. What are the two divisions
    of the angiosperms?


The angiosperms armonocotyledonous and dicotylee divided intodonous. (^)

  1. What are the three basic
    sexual life cycles studied in
    Biology? Which of them
    corresponds to metagenesis?
    Which of them is the human
    life cycle?


Sexual reproduction may take place
through three different typcycles: the haplontic (the being ises of life
haploid) haplobiontic (a single type of
being) cycle; thhaploid) haplobiontic (a single e diplontic (the being istype of
being) cycle; and the diplobiontic cycle


(two types othe other diploid). The diblobiontic cyclef beings, one haploid and (^)
is known as alternation of generations,
or metagdiplontic haplobiotic (a single diploidenesis. In humans the cycle is
being).



  1. What respectively are
    zygotic meiosis, gametic
    meiosis and sporic meiosis?
