To explain: The differences between cycads and ginkgo.
Introduction: In plants, the male gamete fuses with the female gamete to produce seed. Seeds are the ones that develop into a whole new plant. Based upon the type of seeds produced, the plants are categorized into two types: gymnosperms and

Introduction: In plants, the male gamete fuses with the female gamete to produce seed. Seeds are the ones that develop into a whole new plant. Based upon the type of seeds produced, the plants are categorized into two types: gymnosperms and angiosperms. Cycad and gnetophytes are types of gymnosperms.
