- Angiosperms rely on a number of control pathways that govern when to produce reproductive structures. Briefly describe any one of these pathways, including the processes, structures and/or molecules involved.arrow_forwardA) How does a seed differ from a spore? Group of answer choices A seed must start growing right away, while a spore can lie dormant through adverse environmental conditions A seed has a protective coating, while a spore does not A spore has a protective coating, while a seed does not A spore contains an embryo, while a seed contains just a single cell A seed contains a food reserve, while a spore does not B) Angiosperms are the most successful plants on Earth. One reason for this is that Group of answer choices They rely solely on wind to disperse their seeds They rely solely on wind for pollination They lack vascular tissues Pollination of angiosperms is more targeted They are unique among plants in that they do not have a haplodiplontic life cyclearrow_forwardCorn develops from a seedling with a single cotyledon, displays parallel veins on its leaves, and produces monosulcate (single groove) pollen.
