Question
Chapter 22, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To enlist:
The adaptations of gymnosperm that have helped them become the dominant tree in dry, cold climates.
Introduction:
The gymnosperms are the plants whose seeds are exposed on the surface of cone scales. Adaptations are the special features that allow plants to live in both suitable and harsh environment. These adaptations will help the plant to cope up with the new situation or might make it very difficult for plant to live in certain environment.
