Introduction:
Angiosperms consist of the largest member of plant species on the earth and inhabit on planet for more than 100 million years. Angiosperms are the plants, which bear flowers. They can inhabit in dry, wet, freshwater, and seawater. It is classified into two clades mainly,

There are the two main characteristics specific to members of angiosperm and attributed as the reason for their success and diversity. What are they and explain how each contributes to the success of this group of plants
Discuss two reasons why angiosperms have been so much more evolutionarily successful than gymnosperms.
Explain, the differences between plant generations, include:
1) how can you tell which is dominant
2) gametophyte vs sporophyte
3) haploid vs diploid
4) examples from both gymnosperms and angiosperms
