Answer
Differences between Gymnosperms and Angiosperms:
| S. No | Gymnosperms | Angiosperms |
| 1. | There is no covering on the seeds, they are naked. | Seeds are always produced inside the fruits, that is, they are covered. |
| 2. | Endosperm is haploid and is formed before fertilisation. | Endosperm is triploid and is formed after fertilisation. |
| 3. | There is absence of vessels in xylem, | Vessels, tracheids and xylem parenchyma are present in xylem. |
| 4. | Phloem lacks companion cells. | Companion cells are present in phloem. |

What is the lymphatic system? Describe the functions of the lymph.
The conifer forests of the world cover huge areas of land and provide the largest terrestrial carbon sink. Conifers are also valued economically; their softwood is used for the production of timber, they are used to cultivate pine nuts, and the berries of the juniper bush are used to flavour gin. As in all other vascular plants, gymnosperms have a sporophyte dominant life cycle (the sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage, which comprises the body of the plant, i.e., a leafy tree).The gametophyte phase is relatively short, and sees gametes produced on the reproductive organs.

The morphology of the mycelium, mode of spore formation, and fruiting bodies form the basis for the division of the fungi kingdom into various classes which include four sub-division Phycomycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes. Members of Phycomycetes are found in aquatic habitats and on decaying wood in moist and damp places or as obligate parasites on plants, ascomycetes are mostly multicellular. The asexual spores are conidia produced exogenously on the special mycelium called conidiophores. Basidiomycetes are mushrooms, bracket fungi or puffballs. They grow in soil, on logs and tree stumps and in living plant bodies as parasites. The basidiospores are exogenously produced on the basidium.

The fungi constitute a unique kingdom of heterotrophic organisms. They show a great diversity in morphology
and habitat. Fungi are cosmopolitan and occur in air, water, soil, and on animals and plants. They prefer to grow in warm and humid places. Most fungi are heterotrophic and absorb soluble organic matter from dead substrates and hence are called saprophytes. When a fungus reproduces sexually, two haploid hyphae of compatible mating types come together and fuse. In some fungi, the fusion of two haploid cells immediately results in diploid cells (2n). The fungiform fruiting bodies in which reduction division occurs, leading to the formation of haploid spores. Symbionts - in association with algae as lichens and with roots of higher plants as mycorrhiza. Three types of reproduction occur in fungi
i. Observe the given flow chart of reproduction and mention which steps involves in the sexual cycle of fungi.
