The breakup of Pangaea changed the flora and fauna of Earth dramatically. b. The climate became drier and warmer. c. Reptiles decreased in diversity and were replaced with amphibians better adapted for seed dispersal. d. An asteroid hit Earth, leading to mass extinctions that made way for gymnosperms to take over lands where other plants had perished. e. Insects developed flight. 11. What is located in the scalelike structures packed densely in pollen cones? a. developing seedlings b. sporangia c. sporophytes d. megasporocytes e. developing pollen tubes 12.

The processes are simultaneous. c. It takes three years. d. Pollination occurs after fertilization. e. It takes one season. 15. The diploid generation of the plant life cycle always __________. a. is called the gametophyte b. produces gametes (eggs and sperm) c. produces spores d. develops from a spore e. is larger and more conspicuous than the haploid stage 16. Which types of angiosperms would most likely be wind-pollinated rather than animalpollinated? a. maize and wheat b. oak and maple trees c. roses and tiger lilies d. The first and second responses are correct. e. None of the listed responses is correct. Plants with flowers are not wind-pollinated. 17. Like gymnosperms, many grasses and angiosperm trees are wind-pollinated. To conserve energy, these angiosperms do not produce complete flowers (complete flowers have all four of the basic parts).
